This is Important if You Have a Wordpress Website

This is Important if You Have a Wordpress Website

The National Cyber Awareness System has announced that WordPress websites are actively being targeted by a Mass Brute-force Botnet Attack.

All hosting providers offering WordPress for web content management are potentially targets. Hackers reportedly are utilizing over 90,000 servers to compromise websites administrator panels by exploiting hosts with admin as account name, and weak passwords which are being resolved through brute force attack methods.

CloudFlare, a web performance and security startup, has blocked 60 million requests against its WordPress customers within one hour elapse time. A CloudFlare spokesman asserted that if hackers successfully control WordPress servers, potential damage and service disruption could exceed common distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack defenses. 

As a mitigating strategy, HostGator, a web hosting company used for WordPress, has recommended users log into their WordPress accounts change or remove and admin logins and upgrade their password to something more secure.

Free Yourself from Mental Slavery

Free Yourself from Mental Slavery

I took this photo in Curacao, where I am currently living for a few months. I was struck by the image of looking out across the freedom offered by sea through prison bars with the quote over the top of the jail door.

Someone must have clued the attorneys in about Google+.

Someone must have clued the attorneys in about Google+. The last dozen or so circles I've been put into in 3 or 4 days have all been attorneys. I should probably and go ahead and post a "brace yourself" meme that says: "Brace yourself. Hoards of attorney/hack-marketer/circlers are coming."
