No. By looking at the first page, you can instantly tell it's Windows.

*Most* of these sorts of things rely on two things:
They've found an exploitable bug in Windows (e.g. remote access to
something that shouldn't have remote access - which requires you to have
the OS that they're trying to exploit).
Them sneaking a trojan onto your system, that gives them access. Again,
you'll need the OS they're using.
Probably the thing most likely to allow someone remote access to your
Amiga, is setting up a telnet server, in a half hearted manner. That can
give someone a full CLI link to your system. By the way, there isn't one
set up, by default, in any version of Miami that I've ever seen.
Other than that, about all you have to worry about is your web browser
crashing while trying to view some page. Or some twit flooding you with
pings, until your link to your ISP has no spare capacity for what you
*want* to be doing at that moment.
