The last weekend in February brought about what seemed to be a mass
DDoS Attack on several popular programs at the same time. Among my
regulars, Genius Funds and HYIFund both were up and down until I presumed
their Hosts played it safe and took the programs offline. One way to thwart
these attacks until the trouble makers got bored and set their sights on
something else.

I, like most trying to make money online, have been dragged through the mud
a few times and have seen how unforgiving and deceitful some program Admins
can be. Not only Admins...there are also those that try to cheat a good opportunity
causing hardship for all members involved.

I've seen both and have gotten accustomed to it..."I've fell into a money trap and
now it's time to move on...forget it". A couple times it was hard to swallow where
I trusted these people but no time to dwell on it...carry on.

Let's say I was an evil monger Admin and I had thousands of dollars in funds
from members who trust in me and my program. My site just went under 3 days
of heavy sustained DDoS attacks and my Host just updated me that my script will
be online on their servers as soon as it lets up. What a chance...cancel my
subscription..blame it all on the Host...all the files and data are gone...run with
the loot after a tearful and "all is lost" update

It's been done and will happen again. But...c'mon this is too evil..too despicable...lol

This is the difference between guys who are looking for a way out and programs
like Genius Funds that came back up online and paid me quickly again this morning.
After lunch, an update from HYIFund that it's also back up and working to credit accounts
for missed ROI during the downtime.


This online business has trained me to look at programs with a sense of...guilty until
proven innocent like Red China unlike our democratic society were a person is innocent
until proven guilty.

So...when I see these programs I mentioned in my article burst back on the scene...
I have to give them "two thumbs up" for bringing some "good" back into this niche.
