How could that be
« on: January 11, 2023, 05:19:29 PM »
For the longest time 'most on line' was 300 something, but today its in the 500's. Must be a new influx of talent?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Or Chinese bots looking for security holes. 
Someone trying to drive traffic hits to increase search ranking?

Activity is really weird.

Looks like a bot is crawling the forum DB,  Going through one topic at a time from like 2008 at this point.

Somebody crawling the forum db to grab a a historical copy of all the posts since 1999?

Increased cyber activity is my guess

I think 2023 will be the year of randsomware and hacks like none other before

It's 24/7 356 days a year weapon...

612 hit today. Needs to be looked at for sure. Looking at posts from 2006. I wonder if some kind of data collection?

Restored many servers from backup over the years that were hit with ransomware. These were relatively small businesses. The thieves got wiser and now spend more time going after the larger businesses. Billions stolen. The weakest security link will always be the human.

99 percent of the time they are just harmless bots that are indexing the content for search engines. any admin can see which bots they are.
