Beware Rant Ahead…Â
Your IP has been blocked. Oh, that’s right you can’t see this post because YOUR IP HAS BEEN BLOCKED!
Why in the world anyone from Egypt would want to access MY Hard Drive is beyond me except to use My IP to do something Illegal.
This is not the first time I have had to block an IP address, the last time was when I had my Whole URL Hacked back in mid April.
Why, you may ask did I wait until there were 5 visits from the same IP? Up until last week, StatCounter had a default of 100 PageViews in the Log for a standard account. They just raised the default to 500 PV’s and I picked it up as I was going over the additional views for comparison of stats over a longer period.
Normally, I am not really a suspicious person, but it seems that waiting too long to confront a small problem can end up becoming a real big problem in the end. So, I decided to take action in order to avoid the possibility of being Hacked again.
If I see people/bots trying to access anything that they shouldn’t have access to, I will confront them and stop them any way I can. I will not tolerate misuse of ANY of my Sites or Equipment in any way.
For examples of the problems I have already had with Spammers and Hackers I have included links below for your reference.
