http://www.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/ securitymatters/2007/10/securitymatters_1004 Apart from turning off a computer when it isn't in use, especially those with high speed connections, I'm not sure what to do about this type of hack/crack/virus/spambot/i.d.thief/unknown-other-i ssue computer potential problem. | ||

I would recommend purchasing a full computer security package. I use Trend Micro and have never had any problems. | ||

Someone's cyber war against Estonia was just practice. Someone is still practicing. This "cell" tactic is straight out of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress."--R. Heinlein (and probably many terrorist and military handbooks). If there ever was a way to disrupt a countries economy and trough it into a week of chaos, the internet will probably be on the front lines of this next war--Bots and Bothearders. Hopefully, it won't affect my ECM when jack into ECMspy! BTW, turning off your computer doesn't work. The bothearders program them to start-up when you're away. UNPLUG THEM FROM THE WALL AND THE LAN!!! (before you go out for your next ride) Hex | ||

Having Mac and Linux computers does have some benefits  | ||

(rumor has it that Mac's are infected and are just laying dormant for the second or fourth wave, Linux machines are presumably infected as well, rumor has it, just not as high on the activation list yet)     | ||
