I have been monitoring my PC system, and I have noted a pattern that might be of interest to Freepers. When ever I visit FR I generally get hit with an unauthorized Internet attack. These attacks are low-level, and it appears that someone or something is attempting to probe my PC when ever I log into FR.
I strongly urge other Freepers to make sure that they have somekind of FIREWALL to protect themselves.
I have noticed this before, but I haven't raised this issue, because I thought that it was just random attacks that occurred simply because I was on the Internet. But then I started to monitor it and noticed a correlation between my FR visits and various attacks.
Intruder "Y9K0E0" is most active and engages in the most agressive attempts. But others are involved. Has anyone else noticed this activity?
