Hello TechNow Customers.  Thanks for your Business!  
  • Washington Post Reports Number of Hacks Up Sharply
    In the last 6 months of 2001 one firm alone reported over 128,000 verified attacks amongst its 300 clients and over 52,000 breaches, up 50% from 2000.  2001 also saw over 2,400 new vulnerabilities detected, which means more hackers are spending more time probing systems and finding new exploits.  Other important findings for 2001 include an estimated 41% of companies suffering from "critical attacks" and 12.7% encountering at least one "emergency", which caused them to initiate recovery procedures.  30% of attacks were estimated to originate from within the United States, while Israel was the country from which the highest percentage of attacks originated per Internet user.  

    The analysts' bottom line: The threat is much greater than previously known.

  • Finding and Using Ready Made Perl CGI Scripts   
    Besides its simplicity, ability to connect a website to a backend Oracle or SQL database, and its cross-platform capabilities, one of the great things about working with Perl is the fact that so many ready made Perl scripts are available online.  But be careful!  Some of these scripts are poorly written, rarely updated and may not precisely fit your needs.  The key is to take a closer look at them and see if they fit the bill.  Click on "Learn More" to find a checklist of things to look for as well as links to various sources of FREE Perl Scripts.
