If the website seemed slow this morning, it was due to a hacking attack that lasted from 9:30AM EST to 11:30AM EST. The hackers were unable to penetrate our systems. The attacker is a person (or group) that tries to get their unique acronym posted all over the target website. This did not seem to be an attack directed against wargamers or wargaming. |

Yes, I've noticed TMP seems to be loading slower today (but that could also be due to my dialup connection… ;-) |

Good to know. Kudos to you, Bill, for fighting it off! |

The hackers were unable to penetrate our systems. Due to really good save rolls, no doubt. ;) |

Due to really good save rolls, no doubt. ;) They are trying to execute code for a type of database we don't use.  They attacked again in the afternoon. I made some changes in code to reduce any annoyances. |

Haven't noticed as TMP is always a slow loading site for me. |

Haven't noticed as TMP is always a slow loading site for me. Interesting. Loads fast for me. |

Interesting. Loads fast for me. Well, it is your website so I would hope that it loads quickly for you. In my case I click on a post, do something else and eventually it will come up. Other pages that I use such as Facebook, Democratic Underground, and other discussion boards load very quickly. |

Maybe you need a champion to fight off the giant web-footed space slugs…

He attacked once more, but now seems to have given up. For what it's worth, the IP traces back to Ukraine. |

Maybe they are just checking for new tactical ideas from wargamers to use in the real war?….(I'll get my coat now….) |

Well, it is your website so I would hope that it loads quickly for you. I load it from the server, just like everyone else. |

Seems like they haven't given up trying the last few days off and on. |
