I’ve been extremely frustrated with my Internet connection for the last few months. Apple Care blamed the problem on my ISP, and my ISP told me it's a problem with my computer. To make matters worse, obtaining relevant support from tech guys is nearly impossible (most of them aren’t native English speakers and the ones that do speak clearly are incredibly incompetent). So when I finally got a guy on the phone last night who actually knew what he was talking about, I was incredibly relieved. After spending a long time troubleshooting, he informed me I probably had a virus causing a "
DNS flood attack." Internet security has changed a lot in the past few years. Before, it was sufficient to not download strange files and avoid a pornography or gambling addiction, but now you have to worry about strange Internet security threats and your
wife becoming addicted to
online chess. There’s no telling what will happen in the next twenty years.
