Website Under Attack!

Tuesday 9th May 2006  

This website is under attack from spammers! They are trying to submit links and adult content into my guest book as well downloading a random page with a phoney referrer. I have disabled the guest book to stop the spam hits, but they continue to access random pages. This results in 400+ additional hits per day, which is equivalent to over 120,000 hits per month! It has also resulted in additional bandwidth overheads which I must pay for if I exceed my monthly limit. I have also banned a country from accessing my site as every single hit from there has tried or caused damage to this site. I am looking into implementing security features in the future to help protect against this so there won’t be any further updates for a while.
