Hackers ... advice please? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi All,

I am just about starting to find my feet with my first membership site .. apdnudes.com. The site has been live for about 6 weeks now and is starting to convert regularly

but over the last couple of days I have had a very persistent person trying to hack into the members area!

Is this 'normal' and to be expected with a membership site? (I have only ever run affiliate sites before.)

Any advice / comments welcomed?

Thanks
SteveB

of course it is normal, every website is bruteforced daily, some are permanent under attack. strongbox and generated passwords is your safe way

Thing is, you won't even know are they in

See do your members complain of spam, or you have large amount of cracked accounts. If so, you've been had.

Congrats on your new site and conversions. As per mentioned previously, consider Strongbox which is an excellent system.

+1 for Strongbox

steveb369 · 12-09-2009, 07:59 AM

thanks for the advice guys ... much appreciated.

Yup, Strongbox or similar software is the way to go. I'm not sure off hand if SB tracks the traffic of users but you might want to watch how much content is being downloaded per user. If it gets shared, you'll be getting a nice boost in traffic and possibly overages on your hosting.
