Upgraded Security and Blocked Countries

[Stephen Houser]

I gave in and paid for us to get “upgraded” security on the site. The number of crummy logins today finally got to me. There’s usually a handfull each day where nefairous actors try to log in to non-existant accounts and exploit the system. This morning there were ~40. Hopefully this upgrade will slow that down a bit.

I’ve also gone ahead and blocked a few countries outright, china, vietnam, russia, india, that were persistently sending false logins. While I think most of us are in the U.S., it still rubs me the wrong way to have to block legitimate folks.

I’ve gone and blocked more countries as the junk keeps coming in.

If you are an actual person and seeing that you are blocked, please just drop us an email at the admin account, and we will unblock your location. I’m going to leave it to you to search for the admin email on the site as “proof” you are a person.
