**You thought I mean something dirty, didn’t you?
My blog is by no means as popular as it was back in the day. I don’t get the hits [1]clicks like I used to simply because I don’t use it much these days. It still shocks me how often I get brute force attempts on my p@ssw0rds. [2]misspelled on purpose to avoid scanner bots The bots pound my page almost daily. I’m getting double and low triple digit hits as for as page views, so I barely register on the web with that level of traffic.
While no one is totally above getting hacked, I try my best to put systems in place to avoid getting hit. My biggest weapon is a login limiter. It prevents any user account, even the admin accounts, from too many log in attempts. The delay gets longer and longer the more they use the same username or ID to try and get in. I also deleted my master admin account and replaced it with a custom one. Any attempt to use the generic admin fails by default.
Even though I locked myself out for awhile, I was happy to see no one else was able to break it.
