Using of computers and especially using of the Internet became an inseparable part of a life of every modern man. This advanced techniques facilitate day-to-day activities we are forced to do in many ways and many of us are not able to imagine the world without them any more. Today you can make a purchase, pay bills, check your bank account, communicate face to face with your friends, send a brief without having to move out of your house. But, as it happens sometimes, nothing is only good and besides all these positives, there are also some negative facts connected with all these modern conveniences. One of these dangers is represented by hackers for example. There are many stories when hackers got in some private system or Internet side and accrued damage was really huge. This case happened also during the night form Tuesday to Wednesday, May 28. Comcast Corporation became a victim of their attack. Comcast Corporation is the largest cable television company and the second largest Internet Service provider in the United States. While they had Comcast under their control, more than 14,1 million subscribers could not log in and get access to the site for e-mail, news or potential technical support. The hackers also replaced the original front page of the side with note saying that hackers had “RoXed” Comcast. Jennifer Khoury, who is Comcast spokeswoman, said that this problem had been already solved but it could happen that some users would be still unable to access Comcast.net side.
