Increase in hacking attacks

Has anyone else noted an increase in hacking attempts? I had two yesterday and one already today. On both occasions Nod 32 warned me that a remote computer was trying to access my computer. I checked them both out on Google, two were from China yesterday, and this mornings attempt was from Austria.

I had my main email account hijacked yesterday - waiting for me this morning were hundreds of mailer daemon messages telling me my email couldn't be delivered.

There are also a large number of spam mails appearing here on the forum - either as direct advertising or "hidden" in commercial linked signatures.

Out of interest , how do you know you are under attack?

?because my inbox was stuffed with mailer daemon messages about undeliverable mail - mail which I had not sent and, from what I could interpret from some of the messages, seemed to consist of "advanced" porn.

Nod warned me of yet another attack late yesterday afternoon. 85.30.252.174. Each time I tell Nod to remember to disallow further attacks from the particular source, but they keep changing. Most are coming from China, but a few come from Austria. Thank goodness for a reliable firewall. :D
