Every modern browser has built in protection for that kind of activity.

Everyone knows they should be running a security suite and to keep it updated.

I've got quite a few servers sitting out there and if you check the logs on any one of them at any time there is always a dictionary attack, email account access search, SSH probes, you name it, going on.

Way back in the day it freaked me out but it's a fact of life and 99.9% of the stuff gets no where as long as you follow standard best practices.

I've only ever had one server get compromised. One I turned over to a client when I stopped working for them. They did not manage it so it got out of date and got hacked.

This is a free community forum and while our host should, and mind you does, do everything he can to provide a secure environment we share responsibility in keeping ourselves from harm.

If it's happening here it can happen on every other VBulletin powered site so the real onus is on VBullettin to address the issue for their clients who pay for the SAS.
