Terrorist Threat

Warning these are the secrets that terrorist attacks professionals hope you never learn about! They know that if you already know the secrets you might not need their assistance. It is simply self-preservation for them. For me, I prefer self-education and cooperation. That is why these secrets are being revealed here. Your web host could be the reason why you are a sitting duck for a DDos attackFew people realize that your choice of web host has a lot to do with just how secure your web site is going to be against attack. Even a simple assault from a lone hacker will tend to be easier with an unprepared web host with less resources and experience. But the real terror emerges from Ddos attacks or Distributed Denial-of-service attacks. Deliberately designed to elude detection by today's most popular tools, these attacks tend to be swift and come without any warning, leaving behind huge losses that can never be recouped. Microsoft lost an estimated $500 million in just a few days from a Ddos attack on the site in January 2001. Of course the costs go way beyond simple monetary terms. Because site performance is compromised, the business ends up with frustrated customers. The network infrastructure of the host you choose is very important if a web master is to ensure that their site is protected. And yet most of this protection does not come cheap. For example the most recent Cisco Ddos protection appliance costs about $200,000. Without this protection the host and his entire network are "sitting ducks" as any Ddos attack on any single site will affect the entire network and thus other web sites as well. This is one of the reasons why it is becoming increasingly important for web masters to be aware of a lot of technical details behind the network structure and capabilities of the web host they choose to go with. It is just too risky to leave it all to chance or to base the entire reason for choice on a few simple factors like price and number of years in business.
