This leads us to the old fact that several ISPs and hosting providers protect their servers with every network perimeter security resource (firewalls, IPSs, virus-and-spam-appliances etc) but forget that "availability" as a security principle requires adequate physical and utility safeguards
Yes, but Advance Internet isn't an ISP, it's a division of Newhouse Newspapers and exists primarily to service the Newhouse new media outlets. Cleveland.com, for example, is co-owned with the Cleveland _Plain Dealer_.

You'd think the company would be more careful about protecting a major extension to its core business.
