I loaded up a site as a sub-domain, just a one pager, as a place for my boss to pick up files I've finished working on, and in less than 24 hours a Google bot had visited and someone from Russia!

I didn't want anyone else to access the site, but yet it was within hours.

I now have the page password protected ...so another very handy Coffee Cup program put to use.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

Wow that's quick indeed lol,

don't feel bad tassie, I had to go and block an entire IP range because someone from Luxemburg used 1.35 GB of bandwidth on my shop in 2 days time on 4 different IP's in the range lol. No clue what in the world my site has that they would need that badly that they can't just ask for it, but oh well now they don't have access to it at all. Hopefully that won't happen again either, no clue why someone would do that.

Anyways, good to see that another CC program is put to good use hehe.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
