| CERT, a federally financed computer
security organization formerly known
as the Computer Emergency
Response Team, said today that it
was no longer seeing an unusual
number of reports of attacks. From
Monday through Wednesday, service
on several leading Web sites,
including those of the Yahoo portal,
the E*Trade Group brokerage firm,
the eBay auction company and
Time Warners CNN.com news
site, were disrupted and in some
cases halted by assaults involving
dozens or more computers flooding
them with data feeds. |
| 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. |
