John Simkin Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 While Andy and myself were away on our holidays the Forum came under attack from a computer based in Australia. They employed software that used up 98% of our total bandwidth for the month. One again we have had to spend more money to get the Forum back online. We are currently searching for the culprit. What we do know is that the person responsible was using the IP 59.106.128.138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Simkin Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 59.106.128.138 The Project Honey Pot system has detected behavior from the IP address consistent with that of a spam harvester. Below we've reported some other data associated with this IP. This interrelated data helps map spammers' networks and aids in law enforcement efforts. http://www.projecthoneypot.org/i_47de2c725...8b794b893023f1e A spam harvester can read through the pages in your site and extract email addresses which are then added to bulk marketing databases. The result: more spam Thanks John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
