Hi All, Just want to find out does anyone here came across the cisco switches & router got hacked. I'm not sure which one actually got hacked coz I'm not a security expert. I do notice that sometime my switches & router refuse to accept connection. But when I change to a new want every things work fine. I do ask the IBM technical support & they told me that it was hacked. So now once a week I need to call the IBM support to fix it. They usually replace it. I'm wondering how do I prevent these in the future. Besides these I too like to know how do I track the hacker ? I had mail my ISP & they reply please go & hire a security expert with a good qualification. Is these what one usually get if they need help from the ISP ? It looks like the ISP suck or they r the one who did it. Or time to change ISP. Does one really need to have a good qualification to hunt the hacker ? As far as I know everyone is a hacker the only different is some is good & some is lousy coz hacker r not born they too go thru a pain in the ass experince b4 they really call them self a elite haxor. All help r welcome. Cheers __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find out what made the Top Yahoo!
