Is 2008 to be "year of the hacker?"

StarLab · 01-10-2008

Greetings...

Is it just me or has there been an unusual amount of hacking going on in the last couple weeks?

I have personally witnessed 6 cases so far this year, and was personally affected by 2 of those. (Client sites)

Perhaps it's coincidence that they come to my Netbourhood, but I haven't seen anything like first hand before.

Anyone else feeling this?

Probably because 2007 was the year of the scammer. Even I was a victim.

Hopefully my computer or any of my sites won't get hacked.

Well, I didn't get scammed online in 2007, but did in real life.

Let's just say I'm short a few "friends" over the experience... :(

I was only scammed for like a hot minute.
The second I saw something suspicious in my PayPal account, I created a dispute and won.:)

Every year the number of hackers are going to grow and so is their knowledge. So we will just have to stay up to date with security to avoid it.

cant say...i suppose scamming has increased more than hacking...

will love to have 2008 as the year of hackers rather than year of scammers....:(

Hacking is surely going to rise in near future and which would force people to learn computer more deeply to secure themselves from these kind of thing so it wouldhav a negative effect on way one but positive effect on other way.
