If want to live in the digital world, you have to learn a little about those who would take advantage of you.
I found a message on my answering machine when I returned home from the weekend questioning a $5000 charge on my credit card. Evidently someone in San Francisco used my number to pay LBC Express (a financial services and courier company doing business with Asian countries). I am having difficulty getting them on the phone just to follow up.
My online content requires the same attention. I find myself dealing with strange activity on my server. One of the tools I now use logs rejected logins to my blogs. The idea is to block anyone attempting to use an algorithm to guess the password. The system locks anyone out for 24 hours if there are 4 failed attempts to login. If the problem persists, I block the IP.
