It all depends what you mean. I don't see any real hacks but Squid is not a
security proxy.

For security you want to aim at a very good router filter (up to TCP port),
strong server security and Squid will be fine. If Squid is used as a proxy
one should prevent access (on the router) from the outside. On the other
hand http traffic can be used by Trojans (so can E-mail by the way) so
truly secure?
