One trick that I have noticed recently starts with an email message that either announces or assumes that you have subscribed to a new and wonderful source of information that will be sent to your email address periodically.

To protect your website from malicious attacks you should consult your hosting service. I recommend GoDaddy.com. I have been with them since the beginning of the Internet.
