Under attack mode - verification required

Post by Bootsy »

I've had to enable our 'Under attack mode' having suddenly had a surge of AI and Bot accounts attacking the site - it's been brewing all week

So you may be asked to verify before entering the site at the moment whilst I play around with settings

Hopefully back to normal soon

I've just blocked Singapore traffic where the latest attack comes from so let's see if that solves it

Although being attacked by French bots too - I'm loathed to block French traffic but may have to for a while

The attack won’t actually be from France just bots mimicking French Ip addresses but will
Block until it all dies down
