Glad we are safe and sound and  :tu: to whatever is in place to make it that way.

I think it's good when systems are tested and more so when they stand up to the test.  Again glad we weren't infiltrated.

if all crackers and script-kiddies would just hack 127.0.0.1,  the world would be a better place.   :rofl:
If I can help, let me know

Based on the logs they were trying to brute force the default admin login on the main site... sadly for them, the account is not the default name, so they can keep trying that all they want... Also there's now a blocker in place for failed logins.

Our hosting company looks after us quite well, so even if they did manage to get in, and cause havok, we wouldn't lose much and would have minimal downtime to restore and fix.

that is such an important change, and I know many places that do not make that change.
Also, two stage authentication.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Mommy would be upset if they did that because she couldn't watch her stories on Netflix.

127.0.0.1 is localhost, meaning they would be hacking themselves.
