Getting a ton of errors being generated due to a pretty sophisticated hacking attempt going on... I'm banning entire IP ranges to shut them down. Hopefully I can keep a head of them.

We used to be small enough it wasn't worth anyone's time but we keep growing so I guess that makes us a target of sorts.

Wow, Shields UP!!! Thanks for being our protector Dallan. What does a hacker want with our site anyway? It's not like we've got our bank account information stored here.

What kinds of electronic weapons are at your disposal?

No, don't say anything. No point in letting them know what to watch for. There is a worm that can be piggy-backed to their IP that can get information and send it back to you... I occasionally use it from my Linux machine. It can be very useful.

HACKERS...damn, what next. I can't see what hackers would want from our Forum, but then again I suppose they could always get into the Members area and steal identity information.

Good work Dallan, and good luck in defeating these morons.
