Shady RAT

Since one of my beats for the class was Information Technology, and I have not yet been able to meet with any of the Instructors I have decided to find live events happening all around the world that are dealing with Information Technology, and Computer Technology. The website above was just the first that I found about the subject, and it was quite interesting. Nothing that i would want to do one day as a career, but interesting in the way of how important the job that these men hold, protecting from virus spreads.
The article covers a lot about a specific persons experience to a hacker invasion. He then tells you what he did under this attack to save his work and programs. After closing off certain networks, he was left with reprogramming and also stepping up security. The last part of the article talks about seven steps to protect yourself from this happening and what to do if it was. I believe that this was the most important part of the article, and also very imformative.
I have never been a fan of anything that deals with computer language or programming, and have dreaded any class with those words in it. But I find it very interesting to look and see what this field requires, and some of the problems they have to deal and worry about. But above all my favorite part of the article was naming the hackers "Operation Shady RAT".
