Good post GBL.

I couldn't be bothered reading the whole article but from what I gather, just stick to reputable sites and you should be fine.

 

oooh! thats a nasty one!

tens of thousands of domains must of cost a bit...

 

this shows the darker side of the it world.

good job we have the good guys to put them out of business.

it does make you think how safe our information is these days....

 

Whilst the information about hackers and web sites used in disguise is not a new news it is still one to be aware off. I personally, use both IE and Firefox browsers and use netcraft tool bar as well as its very valuable.
