This recent news article provides evidence that spoof hack attacks against broadband DSL modem connections are increasing.
If your small business uses basic DSL or cable modem connectivity, it is beneficial to terminate the connection (turn off the modem) at reasonable intervals such as each evening.
This resets the modem and requests a new IP address making it more difficult for hackers to obtain access.
Protecting your business from spoof attacks also involves setting up proper firewalls and filters at each level of network connectivity, not just on your PC or laptops.
