Tuesday, 2 April 2013, AMSTERDAM - The Ninth Amendment's Amsterdam bureau reports corroborating information regarding what other sources including CNN have called a "massive cyberattack" allegedly launched by Dutch company Cyberbunker and other alleged conspirators last Friday, 29 March 2013 against non-profit Spamhaus Group which provides free data used by companies including many e-mail service providers to block up to 80% of the world's "spam" dissemination on the internet. Cyberbunker based in a former military bunker in Holland reportedly boasts that it provides servers for worldwide dissemination of any type of material except "child porn" or that aiding or abetting "terrorists".
The alleged Cyberbunker attack was reported to be a "denial of service" attack against Spamhaus which consists of directing overwhelming amounts of internet traffic to its servers so as to shut them down. Spamhaus in an effort to avoid being literally knocked off the internet employed a technique of redirecting the huge volume of traffic onto the internet, apparently in such great amounts that it subsequently impacted and significantly disrupted much of the internet's worldwide traffic. Although the alleged three-day Cyberbunker attack reportedly ended it has now been picked up by other hackers and/or presumably corporate enemies of non-profit Spamhaus.
Although this attack apparently has reached unparalleled proportions the perceived feud (at least by Cyberbunker) between Cyberbunker and Spamhaus reportedly has continued for some time. Although the Ninth Amendment at this time lacks information from law enforcement sources the private internet security firm engaged by Spamhaus has cast the alleged Cyberbunker attack as a debilitating denial of free speech on the internet whereas Spamhaus provision of data on entities such of spammers is entirely at the discretion of companies such as e-mail providers which voluntarily choose to use it to protect their computer and time resources as well as those of their users and customers.
This CNN report which readers may access directly from the link below was brought to the attention of many by Avast! Corporation along with the provision of a free routine upgrade. Avast! currently is the leading provider of free and subscription virus protection programs. Readers are advised that reviews of much free and subscription software such as Avast! are available at www.cnet.com along with free downloads. Many computer experts this year have withdrawn their top recommendation for Microsoft Security Essentials which readers can research on their own with simple internet searches.
Furthermore many computer experts such as the Ninth Amendment's own expert consultant BigBigJoe recommend that for most computer users choosing a single security software whether free or paid is one's most advisable course of action to, among other things, avoid conflicts between the different software which actually may identify elements of one another as various kinds of computer security threats and secondly because BigBigJoe recommends not overburdening one's computer with, excuse our English, too much "crap" that slows down or even causes one's computer eventually frequently to crash, resulting in one of most computer companies' favorite misconceptions.
That being that it is time to pull out one's wallet and "upgrade". Translation: Dump out more money for more processing/memory power to accommodate more unwanted garbage that often is merely dumped onto readers' computers with a variety of "clever", or perhaps borderline fraudulent, techniques. Alternatively to run poorly and sloppily written software which eats up unimaginable amounts of computer resources such as the programming for which Microsoft has earned its infamy amongst many of those apparently in the know.
Such as for example programmers for Microsoft and Apple who actually often do not use their own companies' software to write their "product" but instead rely on freeware such as Linux. Finally one way to avoid downloading unwanted software, toolbars, homepages, etc.is to refrain from running "express" downloads but instead choose the other option for "experts", i.e. those with the patience to review what actually is being downloaded along with their "free" software. After all, when it comes to for-profit America is anything really "free"? As we understand it, although we are not offering legal advice which can only be provided by a duly licensed attorney, in our lay understanding these corporations do have an obligation to maximize profits for shareholders within the limits of the law. Oh, yeah.
