Re: Reminder, Monday, 7-9 thousands may be knocked off the internet....
If this thing has been around for roughly a year, just waiting to pop off ... why hasn't it been mentioned ANYWHERE?

a) Hubby practically lives on Facebook and all kinds of news agency websites ... not one word.

b) I build, maintain, and host websites for my "day job" and there haven't been a mention of this in any of the major webmaster forums.

c) Where in Google would we have seen this announcement???

d) My ISP is AT&T - nothing from them either.

I went to that dns ok website ... got the green background. At this point, I am not sure if that means anything at all.

The MyFoxDC article said that if you end up affected, you call your ISP to get it fixed. Ummmmm, I know more about computers and the internet than any of those AT&T support staff (I gave up trying to get anything done via them). If I end up having problems, I'll go to my computer repair guy.

One, have only been a member of GPL for roughly a month now. I would not have known to search the archives for that topic.

Two, so GPL is the ONLY place that has that information? None of the major webmaster forums have had it? None of the mainstream media outlets have mentioned it?

I agree with the one who mentioned that if it was an advertising scam, that more details should have been mentioned to give the readers an idea of if they have even seen such a thing.

I just find this very odd that there has been so little announcement for something potentially big. Very weird. *shrugs*

No GLP isn't the only place to get this info, do you think to check malware providers forums for the latest problems ?

You'd know if you had it wouldn't you? I've seen nothing about it in Oz and it's supposed to be worldwide.



In a type of online fraud known as click-jacking, the malicious software waited for users to click on links to popular sites like Apple's iTunes or Netflix.com, and then quietly redirected their browsers to similar-looking sites larded with online ads -- ads that allegedly earned the defendents cash each time they were displayed.

The warnings about the Internet problem have been splashed across Facebook and Google. Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website. Users whose computers are still infected Monday will lose their ability to go online, and they will have to call their service providers for help deleting the malware and reconnecting to the Internet.

Is Orrin Hatch finally getting his way?????


From an oldie but goodie from 9 years ago....

where Hatch said damaging someone's computer "may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights" If you have a few hundred thousand of those, I think people would realize" the seriousness of their actions, he said.

That testing site is like a vaccine.

You don't really get the infection until you get the vaccine.

If it's claimed to be sourced in an online advertising scam, why don't they just name the advertising scam. I find this very suspicious.

The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of more than 570,000 infected computers around the world.

I think I am more frightened to go the test sites. People must be flocking to them. I just sit back and watch for a while.

For anyone looking for some freeware, you can try spobot search and destroy, or avast. Dont load avast with norton or mcafee they will fight each other, like that one time I loaded norton and mcafee together, that was not fun. Avast talks to you though, and alas, does not use a pirate voice as the name would imply! Sptbot seems good, and has worked well for me cleaning out adware, which usually is a form of malware.

Just curious... (says Alice)

Is there a follow up on this story?

How many people actually DID experience a net failure?

What was the REAL reason for this "drill" and warning?

I wonder.

NVM...

Did the research myself. Exactly what I thought it was.

False propaganda, to instill fear, which the ruling elites feed on AND to subconciously PREP the masses for what is coming... Martial Law and Worldwide Power Grid Outage.

This video sums it up perfectly:
