Cyber Attacks including DDoS attacks have continued to expand during the month of July beginning on July 4th. Primary targets have been US Government and South Korean Government sites and many large business websites including Yahoo, Amazon and iContact.

These attacks are launched using computers like yours and mine that do not have anti-virus and firewall software installed or, the software is not set to update daily or may even be expired. Using the Internet for email and web browsing without proper protection is dangerous for you and for others.

As these “Cyber Wars” will continue and grow in their destructive powers as time goes on, anyone using the Internet for personal entertainment or business should take precautions to install and maintain security software.

If you have your own online or Internet marketing business you also need to be sure that your website hosting provider is reputable and that they are taking precautions with their hosting center webs servers. They should be doing daily backups of your website(s) to insure that if they do come under attack or, your site is damage for any reason, they can restore your files and get you back online fast.
