SECURITY INFO FROM CLOUDFLARE FOR July 2023

Cloudflare stopped 1,045,818 security threats
for woodworkforums.com

last month July

Looks like the low life mongrels have somewhat slowed down
their attacks on these forums over the last few months.

However, that's still a ship load of
spammers, scammers & other ne'er-do wells
wanting to get on here and cause problems for us!

Thank you Cloudflare

Does cloud flare breakdown the categories of threats towards the forum or more high level stats?

Cheers

That figure of 1,045,818 is only what Cloud Flare caught.

On top of that there are all the ones denied registration, etc by Spam O Matic as per below:
704500 Spammers Denied Registration
1601 Spammers Permanently Banned
1589 Spammers submitted to StopForumSpam
1662 Spammers submitted to Akismet
16026 Spammy Posts Automatically Moderated

Our online shop has had 1,971 attempted break-ins blocked from 9 countries in the last week by Wordfence.

About 95% of all attacks and attempted break-ins are robotic attacks.

We have had much worse and will get much worse again.

Phone spam isn't much better either we average around 30+ spam or scam calls per day and well into the night as late as 10:30pm.

It's becoming ridiculous.
