Is Your Network Really Safe?

Current Security breaches and catastrophes say NO!Learn how to address these new threats.

More companies in the United States are skimping on security just at a time when they are being attacked in greater numbers by cyber criminals, according to a new Internet security report released last week.

Cyber criminals are shifting their focus to newer methods. In its 2010 Cyberthreat Forecast, Kaspersky Lab said that it expects an increase in mass botnet epidemics.  ”This method has been used to spread notorious threats such as TDSS, Confiker, Virut and in general botnets; as well as the first backdoor for Mac OS X,” the researchers said.

So what’s a company to do? Save on IT security protections and be at risk or blow its budget in order to protect itself?  Most experts will tell you that it’s far better to be safer than risk the aftermath of a cyber security attack, not to mention its costs and damage to your system and your reputation among your customers.

Toyota, the gas pedal sticking on your cars may be a problem we have seen before.

I had a 1968 Chevy Impala with a stock 307 v8 engine, the car ran good until a motor mount broke (Motor Mounts are used on Engines to keep the Engine secured to the body or Frame).

With no indication that the motor mount was broken, I drove the car as normal, until I stepped on the gas pedal real hard to pass another car, then I knew there was a real problem! The gas pedal pulled to the floor and the 68 Chevy was out of control!

Thinking about how I was doing 65 mph in a 35 mph zone and increasing speed by the second, I turned the key off and shifted into neutral.

Seems this was a known problem by the OLD GM and they supplied dealers with a cable assembly that mounted to the frame and the engine block so that in the future if a motor mount broke, the engine would not lift upwards and cock the gas pedal linkage.

This would also happen in reverse depending on which motor mount broke.

I would suggest Toyota look for this similar problem of the engine rising to high either on the left or right side of the engine block during rapid torque of the engine such as passing gear etc.
