Hi Brian.? I have no knowledge of how these attacks work but thanks for 
the notice.? Do they look for IP addresses that have a lot of traffic 
and try to access them thinking if there is traffic it might be an 
important site?? Or is it just random?

I guess I am asking would it be prudent to keep your computer off if you 
are not using it?? After all, I think I can 100% guarantee that if it is 
off it cannot be attacked.

Thanks for all you do to keep us in contact with each other.

Aram, asking to be educated.
