I sympathise with your every word.I am sorry that some
evil-minded loser defaced your website.
I guess,therein lies the problem.Innocent people are
quietly trying to go about their business,whilst
egocentric malware writing maniacs and black hat hackers
are intent on using their knowledge to inflict distress
and misery.
So,whose problem is it?The people whose apparent crime is
not having been born with an inherent knowledge of
protocols and exploits and malformed T.C.P. packets?
Or the people in this world who simply adore rendering
destruction and chaos?Wouldn't you say they exist in
every walk of life?And can anyone-even a multi-billion
dollar world-domineering market force be expected to
anticipate what nastiness these diseased minds will
unleash next?
They love to cause pain,that's all.Maybe,they don't have
the wit or wisdom to do anything more constructive.
Like your securing your home-you have to lock down your
P.C.
Otherwise the net is like some wild,psychedelic shuk full
of pick pockets,charlatans and sheisters..and you're
wandering through it in just your underwear.
Regards,
Sadie
