Yarrrrrr, there be hackers and spammers about...
« on: November 19, 2016, 08:26:24 PM »
Looking through the error log there is a subnet with multiple IPs trying to access various parts and functions that are not allowed to guests.  I did a whois and it appears the entire block is "owned" by the Chinese:

Beijing Baidu Netcom Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

They have been added to the permanent ban list.  If anybody starts getting a ban message let me know...

I have not seen any Chinese IP addresses in a while, last week, there were about 8 ' guests ' that had IP addresses that were very close numerically, it was from the LA area .

Bob, I'm not really sure - I'll have to watch the error log for a while.  I think they will get some sort of banned message if they try to access anything but I'm not 100% sure.

The message in the error log is "You are not allowed to access this section" so I guess they can see the main page but if they try to access anything it won't let them...
