Theos-Talk Archives (October 1999 Message tt00069)

I received the following from a friend. As many in the USA are planning to
use cable modem, everyone should be aware of the security issue before it
is too late.

I agree with you.  Time Warner (RoadRunner cable modems) told me there is
absolutely NO security between customers and the Internet.  You are ON the
Internet and security is the customer's problem, not theirs.  They would do
nothing to help me.  I was told this by multiple technicians at Time 
Warner.
Since I installed Nukenabber, I have noticed attacks on my home PC from a
wide variety of states AND countries.  ISPs need to get serious about
security.
