schädigen kann.Nachdem ich jeden Tag mindestens zweimal Alarm habe ,setze ich das hier mal rein,die Aktie MFXR in Australien könnte ja auch interessant sein:9/06/00 - New Website 'Lock' Hits Back At Hackers
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, Sep 06, 2000 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- The hacker who replaced the word 'Intelligence' with the word 'Stupidity' in the CIA's website Home Page proves that even the most secure of websites can be altered.
That was until today ......
WebSiteLock is the world's first software to provide byte-by-byte protection of a company's website - it 'locks' and protects the contents of the site. It has been developed by MFX Research (MFXR), an Australian company located in Sydney where the Olympics are being held later this year.
WebSiteLock constantly monitors all files on a website; immediately and automatically rebuilds any 'tampered' files with the original files, and reports any attack. It allows authorised users to make changes - additions, deletions or changes - to the website, but blocks anyone else.
WebSiteLock is not just an Intrusion Detection System. Many so-called systems act as mere 'burglar alarms or CCTVs' but still permit damage to happen - WebSiteLock actually ensures that no damage can take place.
WebSiteLock prevents the website files from being corrupted - one of the most common reasons for denial-of-service (DoS) problems and protects full e-Commerce sites, allowing them to operate in total confidence.
MFXR created the WebSiteLock software after someone attempted to hack into their own website.
Bruce Parker, the R&D Director of MFXR, explains " we believed that our firewalls would protect us ... as a software development company, it was critical that we use the latest updates and patches ...we learned the hard way ... and we wanted to ensure that no-one else should have to suffer the enormous disruption that was caused, let alone have to pay the time and cost we had to bear ... "
"We were unable to find anything in the market to truly protect our site ... so we developed WebSiteLock using Object Code Technology, our own patented software development engine. " states Stewart Rendall, CEO of MFXR.
There have been a number of very high profile corporate and government web site attacks, ranging from the CIA in Washington, the Australian Prime Minister's Office, the UK Cabinet Office, Nike, MGM Studios, Oxfam, British Telecom - the list goes on.
The Internet has become a fundamental building block for a company's viability, thus the need for WebSiteLock has become of critical importance in the protection of a company's assets.
The installation of WebSiteLock is simple and fast, and there is no need for any additional hardware or specialised staff.
MFXR has made a 1MB, fully functional version of WebSiteLock available, free of charge to visitors to their website. This version is large enough to protect most 'personal' or 'family' type websites and also permits commercial customers to trial the software.
In addition, MFXR will provide the software to registered charities and educational establishments for 25% of the normal pricing structure.
MFX Research is a truly global company with a client base including Kraft Foods, the US Marine Corps, and Iomega. MFXR's software has been receiving international awards and critical acclaim by some of the world's independent certification laboratories since 1997.
MFXR was the only overseas company to participate in the recent Fix America program aimed at assisting small businesses by providing free commercial software.

And yes - MFX have contacted the CIA to let them know of this new software.
