This rebuilt and restored website was online to the world for only 4 minutes before HACKERS tried to break-in! They were caught.
Long-time users of this website will recall that during Thanksgiving of the year 2022 (over a year ago), this site was mercilessly HACKED. It's layout and functionality were wrecked.
At the time, I didn't have the money or the ambition to do a full rebuild/restoration, so we jury-rigged-it and got by for a little over a year.
I saved up the money, did the research necessary, and last week, my tech guys began the rebuild.
In the past, the site has "good" security, better than most sites. Yet Hackers were ultimately able to breach that "good" security, got in and did their harm. So for this new rebuild, security was a major -- I mean really big -- aspect of the rebuild. Enterprise grade security.
Last Friday, this newly rebuilt and restored site went online at 7:24 PM eastern US time.
FOUR MINUTES LATER, the security system was already recording hacking attempts, and blocking IP addresses of malicious users. FOUR MINUTES!
I got alerts from my system about what was going on, and that these certain IP addresses had automatically been blocked, but telling me I should consider adding these IP's to the PERMANENT BAN list. I did.
Here's just a small sampling of the IP's banned, and why:
So it's going to be a rough ride for me as we proceed in the future. For whatever reason, people with nefarious motives are already trying to break in.
I thought you should know. In fact, it's important you know.
Doing what I do to bring the TRUTH to the public, has enemies. Those enemies don't want YOU knowing the truth.
