    Another DDoS attack being attempted

    It seems somebody really wants to cause harm here. Server resource messages seem to indicate that the site is experiencing a DDoS attack. A DDoS attack is a brute-force attack with the intention of overwhelming the site server and shutting the site down. Somebody really wants to cause harm to this site, it seems.

    While this is being dealt with, the site might be responding slower than usual. I don't anticipate it causing any issue though.

    Sick puppy's out there Greg.... Why our little corner of the web would interest someone to do that is strange. You deal more than fairly with everyone.

    US authorities seize more domains linked to prolific DDoS-for-hire websites

    U.S. authorities have seized 13 more domains linked to some of the world’s most popular DDoS-for-hire websites.

    These websites, also described as “booter” or “stressor” services, are marketed as legitimate security testing tools that allow admins to stress-test websites. In reality, the services are used for launching denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks designed to overwhelm websites and networks and force them offline.

    I hope you find out who the a-hole is and are able to put a stop to it. Bastards, each and every one of them.

    I think these attacks simply target large sites regardless of content. Sadly, that's normal. This site has never been breached, but there are many attempts every year and that's been going on for over 15 years. Several years ago one particular attempt was so severe that the site needed to be shut down while it was dealt with. You probably remember that. I think we were only down for a day but I was sweating on that one. Most attacks originate from the usual suspects - Russia, North Korea, China and Ukraine (yes, them too).

    I am very fortunate that I have a truly gifted server database administrator and our server is managed by a hosting company that we've been with since 2006 and they've never let me down. If there's a problem, they are on the phone within minutes, every time, no matter the time of day or night.
