All DOS attacks are often just probing weakness to see if they can exploit other weakness. Inc is saving some personal data and possibly even some private details in messages we all do not see.

Exploited data is valuable in more ways than ever now. Reddit floated on the stock market for example. Its selling all data to AI companies for large language models data sets.

Dave may be able to as well of course[bigwhistle] I wouldn't mind as my stuff is usually TRIVA or grumpy old man stuff [bigrolf][bigrolf][bigrolf]

DOS attacks are usually bots. It's like the spam we all get, they only have to break through once. All our details are online somewhere. AULRO is just another source for them to attempt to exploit.

There was a recent breach on my ISP. They didn't get much apparently, but it caused VicRoads to issue me with a new DL with another number on it.

The only cookies I know how to deal with are the ones I eat. As for the computer ones, all I know is that I often have to tick a box approving the use of cookies a lot.

As for the "you have way to many things playing with cookies and crippling your net experience" is not my decision. Me not knowing anything about computers means the computer itself makes these decisions.

AS for my original question in the OP, I was not being critical, I was simply asking a question, as I seem to often have problems that other people don't.

If this what is needed to keep the place working I accept that. I also had no idea of the recent problems that was encounted.

Or just company. I'm in the same boat. Or overboard, possibly.

are you guys who are sharing this minor problems using mobile phones?

I have one and never use it , well , rarely.

If the person ringing me doesnt leave a message with id it automatically hits the spam bucket.

I use encrypted email too and if youre not following protocol you get binned too.

Texting is another one....why do mobile phone users expect me to respond to their **** abbreviated messages that I cant understand?

Friends/relatives/ people who need to be in contact have no problem following protocol.

Btw , I still use the perfectly operating land line every day.

I am human, those who know me never ask.....some ask me , "are you fair dinkum?", yep.
