LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI think I might have my alexa rank position mostly thanks to hacker attacks.. at my previous host I moved from shared hosting to vps host, and the support guy didn't know what he was doing..
Now I'm at a new host and properly configured the server myself the attacks are coming to a halt.

We contacted Europol but were informed that Romania is out of their (and just about everyone's) legal reach and we also found out the Romanian Police are a joke, if we paid them they would arrest the hacker... I though about it, but I figured the chances of getting ripped off by the Romanian police was a real possibility. So we just dropped it and moved on.

I have seen at times when people tried to get in the back door but they have never been successful thankfully! I have read on other forums though where without keeping wirdpress updated this can happen pretty easily. I always try to make sure I check even old sites to make sure they are updated.

Keeping wordpress or joomla up to date is just a small step in protecting your site. Most attacks are on the server and database.

We used to see a lot of bot attacks against FTP domains, but unless you have a really weak password your provider shouldn't let them make many attempts.
