| SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10 -- Computer security experts said
today that evidence may now suggest the three days of attacks on
leading Web sites had been the work of more than one person or group. |
| NEW YORK -- With top Internet companies shuddering under a wave of
hacker attacks, Internet security companies, job-hungry consultants and
even insurance companies swooped in on Wednesday to cash in on the scare. |
| But security experts said that Web sites and the Internet in general
would remain vulnerable for the near future because so many organizations
were failing to take steps to prevent their computers from being used by
vandals to initiate the attacks. |
| They offered experts, teleconferences, downloads, seminars, and of
course, their services, to confront the so-called denial of service
attacks and get a piece of new security efforts made by Internet companies. |
