Busy little beavers.
Hit 4,503 spam post by 4,028 spammers, plus 1,211 "Contact us" post.

Today I noticed the first political type spam post.\
  • 2 Anti Vaccine post. "Doc whoever wants you to know all about vaccines"
  • 1 Anti Target store post. Poor handling of "American culture war narratives that cast it as too “woke” or too willing to cave to online fascists."
All three post would had been more convincing if they had not included (hidden) the cyrillic characters/links.

About 10:38 on the 26 Dec 26, spam was posted here. Not sure how quickly I removed the spam and blocked the spammer, but by 13:30 a DOS attack began. Page views jumped from thousands to hundreds of thousands. I was not watching and so by the morning of 27 Dec my host decided I had used all by paid for bandwidth and shutdown my host. After making sure there was no malware uploaded got the domains back up.

Looking at this bulletin board and sit log files, it took the web crawlers, and bulletin board spammers 1hr 30mins to stumble across the website after being down for 12 days.
