Checking browser before access to the site

[ColinD]

Hi all,

 

You'll be seeing a checking access to the site pop up before you access the site for a moment or two.

 

 

Overnight we had a lot of activity and in short... I've enabled a tool to slow down bad actors. 

 

Hopefully remove it later this week once the chaos has been cleaned up.

 

Apologies for the speed bump, but it's that or turn it off till tonight.

 

Colin.

I've also had to momentarily disable search.

 

You can still search by visiting https://search.briskoda.net

Ah, that explains why the "What's New" button has disappeared.  

Thanks for your efforts Colin.

Everywhere

Everywhere red at least...

Thought they might be.

Did you get an email threatening DDoS or did they just hit you with the traffic?

 

If it's an extortion attempt I can give you contact details for the right people.
