Agree, usually vs. "refresh" - close the window in the browser and reopen and all good

[Guy Fawkes]

Computer in China trying to break into the database. Total for 5 different servers, they are now blocked by the firewall.

 

I'll be putting a log watcher in place to be more aggressive about this.

This just s happened again and here's a screenshot if it's helpful.

So far has only happened to me when on the site with my iPad (last day or 2). Has not happened when using the laptop.

This is similar to what I was getting, using my iPad only for this site right now.

The device you use won't make any difference. This afternoon's blip happened for me on a desktop.

[Larstrup]

Yes. It's happens across multiple type devices and O/S.

That's been happening to me for the last several days and several times today. I was in the process of a somewhat complicated post and thought that I would loose everything but no problems resulted. Incidentally as usual I was working on my iPad mini 2.using Safari.

Just now happened with my laptop (about 30 minutes since I shut down the iPad because of it, and went to the laptop).

[Larstrup]

It just happened again while I was typing a post as a pop-up. I'm now on my laptop. never had a pop-up before. It's always been prior for me when processing a command: refresh, edit, publish, etc.

[whipped guy]

Well it happened shortly after I posted the above which I guess was about 18 minutes ago.

[Guy Fawkes]

We're actively blocking the more aggressive ones. All but one are out of China. I've widen the block from the original /24 (256 ip addresses) to /16 (64k addresses)

 

Either new virus is on the spread or China is being bad boys again.

 

I have a window watching the mysql error log in real-time. However, at some point I'll need to lay down for a while. I was busy all weekend working on the DR Version 3.

Guy, your computer skill is an inspiration and is most appreciated! I guess building a wall can have its benefits .

 

Fire on,

[Guy Fawkes]

System reboot in five minutes.

Most major websites have TEAMS of people to ward off this kind of crap. We have Guy. He does an admirable job.

It happened to me for the first time around 8:20 this morning PDT.

[Larstrup]

Just had the longest outage yet. About 5 minutes.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Ya know beating the dead horse with a stick doesn't help.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to beat anything. I was trying to be helpful. Now that I know you're not interested in any further notifications regarding these breaches, I'll just go on about my own business.

[Guy Fawkes]

Screen shots not helpful unless it's a new one. More useful is a date/timestamp so that I can look it up in the logs. I'm monitoring the log in real time, but I do have to lie down every now and then.

 

You basically telling someone that their pants are split open over the public address system. Kinda embarrassing.

 

At this point I've firewalled eight different ip ranges and working on a fail2ban filter to kick these assholes.

 

Needless to say, I'm not in the best of moods. If I've failed to acknowledge the help it's because I'm tightly focused on solving the problem. Thank-you for your input.
