Recent outage - we were under attack

From an IP address in China apparently.

Probably an attempt to steal our secret to predicting election results, or maybe they just confused us with a nuclear reactor.

This laptop is Huawei. I only use it in a lead lined room.

All sounds very exciting and like we should all be forming a big line to repel our borders and fight back the (insert favourite villains here; Orthoptists, Russians, Wight Walkers etc)

Hugely pleased the PLPC stats weren't wiped for a 2nd year

The site went down approx 24 hours ago. Host investigated and found a server security module was triggered (probably due to some attempted hack) hence the security programme stopped traffic to the site. Backup from 18th June restored.

If anything happens again in future please check our facebook page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/TheOptom/

Seems to becoming a common occurrence. Should I be worried about keeping my phone in my trouser pocket?

I blame Dr Day. He's trying to reset the forum to its original look.

Maybe climate change?
Nights are drawin' in already......19.50hrs hereabouts, it's gloomy, already got a light on in the lounge.
So tell me, perhaps I should try Chris Packham, where's the swallows, swifts, martins this year? I noticed one, just one very high up overhead about 30 minutes back. No more to be seen for days. 2 years ago we had loads, including some nesting in the rafters of the carport & shitting all over the drive, on the car if we forgot, & then all crowding the wires in late September when it's time to go.
And, it's Glasto next weekend, monumental year... Trump, Kim & Boris unless he's blown it. Time for the return of Elvis & JFK maybe?

Has the host explained why data was lost if it was just traffic that was stopped?
