Internet vandals and you
The service that hosts this blog has experienced a number of Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks in recent weeks. These attacks badly disrupt the service causing a lot of trouble for thousands of Internet users. A DDOS uses a large number of computers to flood a service with requests and thus overwhelm it. Where do the lowlifes who do these attacks get all these computers? From you and me (actually not from me). Users who do not protect their computers become unwitting accomplices when they allow crackers to plant Trojan horses on their computer. Infected computers (AKA zombies) can be used for months or more without the unsuspecting owners being aware. If your computer is infected, it is not just your problem. You become a menace to us all. PLEASE keep your computer clean. Go to surfthenetsafely.com for details on how to have a safe computer.
