Since WtR is a little guy, with huge things to say. It is easy to shut down a site like WtR. It happens and yesterday again, either through a plugin and or through a weakness in the theme of the blog, WtR was torn to pieces…
You see the fact that they can mess up your template effects how Google, googles you. The site gets set back in search rankings for months. Yes it does and, “Oh well what can I do?”
Once again the attacks came from computers sitting in US based guard shacks and US based government offices. Located at military bases and even prisons located around America. I just shake my head when I see how DOD, DOJ, DHS and multiples of other IPs show up in the attack…
These three articles below were the brunt of the hate and vitriol tossed at WtR, either cyberly and or written word wise through emails and comments…
And yes it is Department of Homeland Security, US
One of 15 different attack spots…
I feel good when I hit it on the nail head, but I do not appreciate the fact that because WtR is a little site with big big things to say, that we get attacked and attacked and attacked. Thus, we just take it and pick up the pieces after they are done. I am not a big news site and or a big powerful blog. Funds are limited, much more limited than all the things I have to say… 😉
Therefore, they attacked either through the template or a plugin (most likely both) that I removed. Either way, the back door is gone. For now! The DHS is able to attack WtR because I have no recourse against them…
I kind of look at attacking WtR like this:
Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae. – Kurt Vonnegut
I love Hot Fudge Sundaes!
Have a nice day and open your eyes and smell the coffee…
