• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Intrusion Prevention Systems Question

    Are you part of the InfoSec department? A network based IDS can be run off a spanned port and at least give you reporting as to whats going on. I definitely wouldn't use 1 vendor for everything.

    road runner FAIL!

    ISPs route private IPs because they use them for management of gear Cox/Comcast/TW use those IPs for video equipment also. If they really wanted to seperate the traffic the could use a VRF or VPRN for a separate routing instance.

    ISPs sometimes use a VPRN or VRF to prevent spill over of private IP space into their main routing protocol but nobody is perfect.
