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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/battlemode.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2387\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/2013\/06\/03\/battle-mode\/battlemode\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/battlemode.png\" data-orig-size=\"290,601\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"battlemode\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/battlemode.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2387\" alt=\"battlemode\" src=\"http:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/battlemode.png\" width=\"290\" height=\"601\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_2386\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"2386\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If want to live in the digital world, you have to learn a little about those who would take advantage of you.
