Take a moment to read some of these "thought provoking" information on security
Code Red Update
A new, more malicious worm dubbed "Code Red II" is spreading around the
Internet allegedly more quickly than the first. At the same time, the original Code Red
worm has been gaining steam since its reemergence on August 1st.
The Use of
Application Specific Security Measures in a Modern Computing Environment
Current computer security practices tend to favor protecting the network as a whole,
and avoid the specific issues regarding an application hosted on that network. This leads
to problems with granularity. A traditional solution requires that all external defenses

Most computer savvy people by now have heard about cable modems. The technology behind cable modems might be a "tad" insecure itself but for the average home user it is a cheap way to get fast Internet access. It is also a good way to provide a fast connection for employees to work from home, and that is where the problem starts.
