General Information

5/13/2003
Since April 1st 2003 we have intercepted 19,000 viruses! That is 1 every 3 minutes. We cannot emphasize the importance of virus protection!

1/1/2003
On New Years day (12-31-2002) we intercepted 108 viruses, within the month of January 2003 we intercepted 3100 viruses! The number is increasing! As always we recommend that anyone with a computer purchase software to protect their computers, and these statistics show why.

1/1/2003
The SQL Worm - Back in July we instituted a basic security policy restricting open SQL connectivity into and out from our network, as a result many of our customers have had some additional protection from this latest threat, however we strongly encourage our customers to take this time to check and update all of their server software. For information on services which are available to assist your company with this task please contact us at support@netnevada.net.

10/10/2002
One year ago today, we introduced our email virus protection system. Since that time we have successfully intercepted 13,050 viruses!

7/31/2002
In a continuing effort to protect the basic network security of our customers, we have added the following policies: No direct access to TCP port 1433 (Microsoft SQL), no direct access from IP addresses 210.x.x.x or 211.x.x.x (Asia Pacific Network Information Center). These changes are a result of scans and attacks being originated into our network. Customers needing specific allowances to these policies should contact Net Nevada Network Operations at noc@netnevada.net.

7/24/2002
We have just added direct
inter-connectivity to Cox Communications!
We are still waiting for Cox to resolve some routing issues, but the end result will be direct connectivity for web hosting and colocation customers, and the fastest path between Net Nevada DSL and Cox Cablemodem customers possible! No other DSL service in Las Vegas offers anything like it... tell a friend... DSL Gamers take note!
