Amidst Major Auction House Tolerance of Fraudulent Buyers - Auction House Allows Auction Buyer to Make Over $100,000 Worth of Purchases over 2 Days from Art Sellers and Profits From the Seller Fees

(PRWEB) June 9, 2004

Cash Art Studio reinvents their website with a simpler design as precursor to solve issues surrounding one famous online auction forum's inadequacy in preventing non-registered buyers from making large scale purchases from many art sellers a few days ago. The event, now being termed as the "Joscenzura2004 Incident" concluded in the bogus purchase of over $100,000 worth of art from various art sellers, many of whom paid premium fees just to have their works seen in the auction forum.

Many sellers lost the premium fees from the their auctions that suddenly ended as the buyer went on a buying spree of mainly art.

Although Cash Art Studio sought a justified reimbursement of their fees lost during the fiasco, the online auction site simply replied with information that would only recover a few dollars of those lost during June 21 and June 22. While some sellers were reportedly allowed the reimbursement of their fees, the auction site has seemingly decided to keep the fees of others.

Many sellers have voice their feedback of the situation back to Cash Art Studio, and Cash Art Studio plans to find a solution to the situation soon. One method may be for an easier outlet for return buyers and new buyers to purchase the paintings from Duane Cash and Phet Cash directly the through the Cash Art Studio website.

This migration will rely less on forcing art buyers and collectors to register with an auction site just to purchase a painting.

For months Cash Art Studio has made the major auction site it's home and has driven thousands of visitors of month to their site as well as the stores of other artists and sellers pro bono.

"We have sophisticated tools that can help drive traffic to any site we endorse," says Cash Art Studio. "Once we direct the traffic elsewhere, major drops may occur, but the traffic will follow us."

Cash Art Studio also has explored the possibility of providing a "Fee free" outlet for other sellers to join for a low and flat monthly maintenance/membership cost, unlike many sites that have fees for everything.

Cash Art Studio paints for the world of art collectors, and does not need to be overwhelmed with concern that their auction hosting site is allowing fraudulent buyers to sign up and purchase items without the intention of paying.

Cash Art Studio has been delivering world-class art service for hundreds of buyers during the last few months and wishes to continue to forge relationships with businesses and auction sites that promote ideal customer service and responsibility.

Website Source Increases Security Against DDoS Attacks

Website Source Increases Security Against DDoS Attacks

Website Source, Inc., is taking a proactive approach to protect its network against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 21, 2006

Website Source, Inc., is taking a proactive approach to protect its network against DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. The Texas-based web hosting company has recently acquired two Cisco ASA 5500 Series security appliances.

A key component of the Cisco self-defending network, the Cisco ASA 5500 Series will result in increased network speed as well as security performance. Together with Website Source's DDoS Protection Suite, they provide Website Source with one of the most secure networks in the web hosting industry.

According to a March 2006 Symantec report, http://www. symantec. com/about/news/release/article. jsp? prid=20060307_01 (http://www. symantec. com/about/news/release/article. jsp? prid=20060307_01) cybercrime is increasing. In particular, the trend is for attackers to use bot networks for DDoS attempts to extort confidential information. DDoS attacks can target specific websites or whole servers. If they're successful, they impair website performance, cost businesses in lost revenue and in time fixing the damage afterwards, and possibly ruin the business's reputation. With cybercrime as a growing trend, more powerful DDoS tools are expected to be used in the future.

The Website Source hosting network architecture goes beyond simple filtering to stop attacks before they can spread through the network while ensuring that websites continue to function as normal. It detects DDoS attacks, diverts data traffic destined for the target device, analyzes and filters data packets, and forwards good traffic to maintain business continuity.

"While some web hosting companies charge extra for advanced firewall protection, we are happy to offer it with every hosting plan we offer," says Stephanie Rosendahl, Founder and CEO of Website Source. "Our combination of an Advanced Cisco DDoS Protection Suite and two Cisco ASA 5500 Series firewalls results in increased performance and higher security for our clients' websites."

Established in 1998, Website Source offers shared, reseller, VPS, and dedicated server web hosting packages with numerous tools to help businesses grow. Package features include multi-domain accounts, website builders with free templates, e-commerce tools, and marketing packages.

Ensynch provides immunity from Internet virus to Managed Services customers

Ensynch provides immunity from Internet virus to Managed Services customers

Tempe, AZ-based Ensynch, Inc. provided uninterrupted service to its Managed Services customers throughout the recent Internet-borne SQL Slammer attack as a result of its custom-designed network firewalls and diligent hot-fix maintenance procedures.

(PRWEB) January 31, 2003 - borne computer worm attack, Tempe, AZ-

Based Ensynch, Inc., continued to deliver uninterrupted service to its Managed Services customers. Dave Cook, Chief Information Officer for The Learning Station -- and partner with Ensynch in the Cox Education Network -- was relieved to learn that his company's servers had not been compromised by the "SQL Slammer" bug, reportedly the most damaging Internet attack in 18 months. "When I called Hunter [Bennett, Ensynch Director of Data Center Solutions], I was worried that our SQL Servers might have been hit. But we sailed through the episode with no problem."

According to independent press reports and various Internet analyst groups, the worm, which spread through network connections by exploiting a weakness in Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 database software, may have affected up to 300,000 servers worldwide in its three-day sweep across Asia, the Americas and Europe.

"Ensynch's Managed Services environment offers protection to our customers similar to the human body's own immune system," said Bennett. "We deal with a large variety of customers, hardware, and software, and are therefore exposed to a wide range of potential threats. Our custom-designed firewalls provide an initial layer of security that protects our Managed Services environment from most network-based attacks. And because our standard operating procedures include rigorous review of patches and fixes as soon as they become available, we had learned of this particular SQL Server vulnerability over six months ago and had applied the appropriate software hot-fixes at that time."

Ensynch currently hosts and manages several dozen SQL Server installations for its Managed Services customers. None were adversely affected by the recent SQL Slammer attack.

About Ensynch

Ensynch, Inc., established in 1999 in Tempe, Arizona, is the stateÂ’s largest Managed Service Provider, providing complete hosting and managed services to over 50 clients, including small-, medium - and enterprise-level businesses, municipalities, educational institutions and State offices. Ensynch offers a wide range of information technology services to customers throughout the southwestern U. S., including business consulting, technology integration, custom development, and data center outsourcing solutions.

Renowned Outdoor Author Joins SureFire

Renowned Outdoor Author Joins SureFire

Craig Boddington, a widely read hunting authority and author of 18 big game hunting books, has joined SureFire as the director of outdoor market development.

(PRWEB) April 28, 2005

Craig Boddington, a widely read hunting authority and author of 18 big game hunting books, has joined SureFire as the director of outdoor market development. Boddington will help SureFire market its illumination tools and assist in promoting the SureFire brand among America's 18 million licensed hunters.

"Craig Boddington's reputation in the hunting world is unparalleled. Craig's level of credibility and depth of understanding of the outdoor market will allow SureFire to bring our brand to the forefront of the hunting market," said SureFire vice president of corporate development Cameron Hopkins.

"Of course Craig will continue his freelance writing career with Petersen's Hunting, Guns & Ammo and other publications where readers have enjoyed his stories of high-adventure hunting for nearly a quarter of a century," Hopkins added.

Boddington's hunting accomplishments include taking Africa's Big Five, the nine principal species of spiral-horned antelopes and 24 of North America's 27 big game species. He has hunted on six continents, 29 American states, seven Canadian provinces and virtually every huntable African country.

Part of Boddington's duties as SureFire's director of outdoor market development include hosting an African-themed hunting series on television and appearing at grand openings and other promotional events hosted by some of SureFire Authorized Dealers. He will also serve as SureFire's spokesman and appear in advertisements in the hunting market.

While most hunting enthusiasts are well aware of Boddington's outdoor accomplishments, few know about his decorated military service. A colonel in the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve, Boddington served as Commander, Combined Joint Task Force Consequence Management in Kuwait from March 2002 to February, 2003. Boddington has been selected for promotion to brigadier general.

"Not too many people are aware of Craig's 30 years of service in the Marine Corps, but he brings more than his hunting experience to the table for SureFire," Hopkins said. SureFire is a military contractor. SureFire WeaponLights(tm) are widely used by U. S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. SureFire also manufactures sound suppressors for small arms and Picatinny rail forends.

Boddington will assist SureFire in its military and government sales, in full compliance with private employment disclosure requirements of Marine Corps reserve officers.

If his freelance writing, hunting and SureFire work won't keep Boddington busy, his other activities will. He serves as president of the Roy E. Weatherby Foundation and is a consultant to Boone & Crockett's publications committee.
