About an hour later (7pm), we received another
call from the client stating that all 25 computers
were hacked again! More viruses installed on
all machines. Our techs called the ISP directly
and identified that they provided no firewall
protection. The hackers obviously knew that
and continually scanned the hotels ISP for activity.
AES had the solution and explained to the client
that our Techs could install a router
at each Internet point. This would provide a
firewall for all the computers hooked into each
router. The AES Technicians arrived on site
within 1 hour and installed the routers with
firewall protection applications, re-ran the
anti-virus programs and cleaned all machines.
By 9:30pm, the client was 100% satisfied and
protected from future attacks.
The next morning the AES Branch Manager contacted
the client before their training class started
to confirm all was good. The client stated that
there had been no more hacker attacks and that
everything was running smoothly. They were extremely
happy. When our team arrived later that day
to pickup the machines, the client and the AES
Branch Manager discussed future PC protection
options, and also informed the other AES branches
of the issues.
