So, I’ve mentioned before that I have a site I’ve had since 1995 that I had to strip down to a single page because a Chinese company started using my name, but seems to have no interest in buying the domain.
I tell you that story only to tell you this one, I’ve been hit over 50,000 times with ai bots in the last 12 hours. They’re doing lateral path searches, like /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and just pounding SSH. (HP1 has been slurped, confirmed.)
Anyway, if your #server has #bandwidth limits, now is a good time to check on those.
