If they hacked into your dads computer, it would be be because of his poor security setup on his wireless network, and would be done from your local area, (ie from within a few hundred metres) not through limewire.

This is quite common, I have a mate whom lives in a high rise, he has several unprotected wireless networks he is able to connect to, mainly just leaches their internet.
