Unexplained Network Security Scanner Phenomenon in Memphis, Tennessee

Filed under: Tech + More — admin @ 7:27 am

Most businesses would not be caught dead without a network security scanner in this age of continued threat by hackers. The industry recommendation is that once a company invests in more than five computers it is time to protect them. Even the least tech savvy consumers can rely on technical websites such as CNet to guide them towards an excellent network security scanner that fits their budget and business size. Reputable scanner software is effective at least 80% of the time, and we have the technical brains of wealthy computer geeks to thank.

While the geeks can explain a lot of things (albeit in a language neither you nor I could understand), the computer programming world cannot explain a recent phenomenon in Memphis, Tennessee, involving network security scanners. In tests done on various brands, the effectiveness rating of scanners in the Memphis area is 100% across the board. Computer experts have descended on the city in recent weeks and are excitedly testing machines for vulnerability, blasting computers with deadly viruses. On one fatigued computer they have even installed a network security scanner that CNet awarded a big thumbs down, then hit the machine with one virus after another, unleashing one every 5 minutes over 24 hours. The computer won.

As word spreads about the unexplainable phenomenon, and scanner engineers continue to scratch their heads, businesses in other parts of the country are considering packing up and moving to Memphis. There is talk that the NSA will take advantage of the mysterious added layer of security in Memphis. Delegates from the NSA have also flown in, and have been seen talking to real estate agents and placing deposits on inner city lofts. Perhaps not coincidentally, sightings of Elvis are also up, by approximately 75% compared to this time last year.
