Hackers...I hate 'em!!

So..earlier this week my website was down for over a day thanks to some hackers in Russia.
Apparently they are attacking websites and using the http 'get' command to inject malicious code into sites.

And from what I understand I am not the only one effected...my developer told me that I was the fifth of his clients to be taken down by the hackers...

And apparently there isn't much you can do to protect yourself unless you want to spend a ridiculous amount of money to defend against something that may happen once or twice.

But now my site is back up and i can finish cleaning up the copy.

Not much about recruiting trends...but there is definitley an increase in cyber attackes across the US.
