Anti-Hackers
Intel releases a security program to halt attacks on internet websites

Intel, the microprocessor producer, has recently advertised that it has found a way to stop hackers from attacking internet websites using a new program that bars such attacks and automatically destroys their ability to bring down websites through spamming.

The company has called the new program "Internet Police Guard" as it stops hackers from entering websites through vulnerabilities.

David Botzolo, chief engineer at Intel, says that the new program operates by sending messages by the shortest route avoiding traffic jams and damaged areas. He also said, that the new generation of routing systems will respond automatically to alert-messages generated by a computer during a hacking attack. The alert messages will include a copy of the fatal virus code, allowing the computer to counter the attack even if the hacker gets through your firewall. The alert message will update itself automatically blocking the hacker and minimising any damage to stored information. Furthermore, computers will be able to identify each other through digital certificates similar to pincodes and encryptions used on secure websites.
