Tankus Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Dear Valued ZoneAlarm Customer,You may have heard about the "Defacers Challenge" taking place this upcoming weekend. The U.S. government and several technology experts have warned that an organized contest among hackers has been planned for Sunday. The objective of the contest is to deface company Web sites.While the attack is not aimed at individuals, hackers often use individual's computers to launch these types of attacks. And although this does not represent an extreme threat, it's an important reminder that even though we may be relaxing in the sun, hackers are still hard at work.To ensure that you are fully protected, we wanted to remind you to check your version of ZoneAlarm and make sure you are running the most recent version. Our entire line of consumer firewall products has been updated over the past three weeks. If you have not updated your product yet, we recommend you do so now.
