It’s been a huge week! First there was the move of the whole website to a new faster server, and now I have updated the complex security system that protects the site from brute attacks. Did you know that every year the site gets thousands of attacks from automated password attack programs? Back in 2007 the site was attacked and passwords shared with hundreds of people. It brought the site down so no one could see it. So at the time I decided to invest in some security to protect the site so the people who buy a pass can log in and quickly access the videos. The attack and eventual shut down that happened in 2007 will never happen again. I’m really happy with the current security system. It detects attacks and password sharing and stops the activity very quickly. It’s really impressive.
Okay… so this post is kinda just about the geek in me! I love this stuff.
