I just encountered a nasty attempted hack while visiting one of the many Jihadists websites I troll on a daily basis. No damage done. I am behind two firewalls and my workstation is pretty tighly locked down, or so I thought. It may not have been related to my browsing, my IP address is probably well known since I don't go to any great lengths to obscure it - Glutton for punishment I guess. I am going to make some tweaks, start up some utils, retrace my steps and see if I can get myself in trouble again. Just wanted to remind everyone to be careful out there on the net.

I had some problems yesterday as well. Someone hijacked my homepage.

Interesting. I experienced two hack attacks this morning within a half hour of each other, and I'm not talking about the usual "trojan" attack that happens every couple of days. I haven't been to one of the raghead sites, however, since Friday morning.

Another hack attack just happened -- the third this morning. Message: "A remote message is attempting to access Generic Host Process for Win32 Services on your computer."
