How good am I!?!?!?
// July 6th, 2003 // Geeky Stuff, General
Today was the day of the infamous worldwide hack where, over the course of 6 hours, many hackers around the world will try to hack into as many sites as they can. The prize? 500Mb of webspace…
…which brings me to this post. I received an e-mail today from Notnet, the peeps who host my websites. Take a look at this.
Andrew,
Today was the date for the alleged website hacking contest where over 6,000 websites were to be hacked in a matter of hours, just so someone can have a little more webspace (sigh).
I thought it’d be in your best interest that you be notified about this. Just over 2 hours ago, 57 attacks were made at Notnet’s servers, 38 of which were targeted directly at where your website “andrew-irvine.co.uk” is kept. Thankfully, all of the attacks had failed and there has been no disruption to the servers.
I hope this is a good way of showing how safe websites are when they’re hosted by Notnet 😉
