A case of malware
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2025 4:55 pm
Apparently some, if not all, of the sites we have and run are of high value. That's according to tech support at GoDaddy.
High Value sites attract malware.
They mention that to explain why we run into trouble again. This time is wasn't a bunch of bots overwhelming the system. This time it was an excess of malware that needed to be cleaned up.
The nice people at tech also suggested to add security measures to the hosting system. It comes with a cost. Our yearly fees just went up because each website now has additional security to avoid issues like malware and bots invasion.
It doesn't mean that we wont have bots, we will, but we have more walls around us. It's like the Game of Thrones.... the bots are there, but we're making it more difficult for them to get through.
There. That's the reason why we were gone for a couple of days. ALL of the sites. Annoying, to say the least.
