Consequences for Not Replying to Inquiries from Chinese Suppliers
You know those annoying emails that you get from people that contain grammar of a 1st grade child, trying to sell you something that you need to import directly from China. Yep those Chinese suppliers who want to sell you everything from engine bolts to kitchen sinks. Well it can be that one of the workers who you ignored, gets really upset that he is getting no replies, and eventually he gets fired for nonperformance. That worker also happens to be a 18 year old kid, who is now unemployed because you did not reply to him. This kid, on his spare time maintains a Botnet for fun. Botnet is a virus that infects computer worldwide and gives him control. He writes freeware garbage programs that contain viruses, that infect computers all over the world and builds up his botnet. He then sells his botnet for $8 per hour or $70 per day to attack any website. A crime that is punishable up to 15 years in jail in US, goes unpunished because he is in China. Business is slow and not many are renting his botnet, so he whips out his contact list that never got replies from, and schedules an attack that can last one week to one month or even one year on your website. Think it cant happen to you? Think again! Moral of the story? 1) Reply to your Chinese suppliers and tell them you appreciate their hardwork but you are not interested. Dont just delete their emails. 2) Clean your computer from trojans that cause this in the first place. We recommend you download and install both programs: 3) DDOS attacks are cheap and easy to initiate. So if your not on Shopping Cart Elite, you better prepare yourself. |
