I don't think Putin will do that...<br /><br />I saw a lot of your replies and posts to Paul over at Plastic Warriors.<br />I sure miss his updates and hope he is well.

What was alarming was that in early 2017 those 2000 hits/week from Russia suddenly turned into 2000 hits/week from the USA (normally I only get 400/week from the USA).<br /><br />Recently it's been the Canadian Pharma Hack bots that have been pinging me, but I think a lot of them have been blocked now.EYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607011416145132455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-3090687160230618862018-05-07T21:11:37.513+01:002018-05-07T21:11:37.513+01:00Lol

I think we can all look forward *cough* to a few more spikes over the next week or so - that seems to be the pattern based on my past experiences. <br />I'm not sure if they are indexing web pages for search engines, or hunting for abandoned blogs to take over. I've had similar spikes from the US in the past, so it is most likely indexing.TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-83027903602237369502018-05-07T10:44:14.357+01:002018-05-07T10:44:14.357+01:00Geordie,

That and good anti-virus software and a firewall should minimise any risk. It won't remove risk, but like a burglar alarm, potential threats will go somewhere where getting in is easier.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-91940547575425566902018-05-07T10:35:13.426+01:002018-05-07T10:35:13.426+01:00Internet paranoia abated
