The woes of modern technology…
It seems odd to sit here, knowing that my business would not exist without the computer, the server, the website, and our understanding clients, and at the same time blasting the very technology that makes this life possible. Well, truthfully, I should be blasting the persistent hackers in Turkey where the “brute force” hacking attempt originated from.
You see, this past week, we brought down our secondary mailing server (the same server that provides service for our email marketing software) to upgrade its functionality and fix some of the problems that has been slowing it down. As a result, we discovered a hacking attempt from some folks in Turkey. Im sure this was just another bot hack attempt that is attempted on everyone that happens to be connected to the internet but it happened during our maintenance of our software and, somehow, managed to corrupt the database of a few different services.
Making a long story short, I sit here on a Monday morning, bleary eyed and frustrated with my line of work. Not a great way to start out the new year to say the least but I’m not going to let it dampen my new year’s spirit. We’re wrap up our work on it shortly and get back to what we do best: Providing damn good web development to our clients!!!
Happy New Year everyone!
