Again With The Attacks
This time they are attacking my log-in system looking to take over my resources, so my host has disabled the log-in file. To get on I have to change file permissions, sign on, and then revert to locking the file.
They are wasting my resources, wasting ‘Net resources, annoying a lot of people, and providing no benefit to anyone, not even themselves. [No different than what NSA et al. are doing, really.]
They are running a script trying to determine user name and password, which will take a very long time on my site and get them noticed, as happened.
I will probably switch back to Spamshield, assuming they have fixed their earlier problem with three updates since I encountered it a week ago, as they also block log-in bots.
This is the price you pay for using a popular CMS program – lots of people trying to break it.
