Here is below an analysis performed in July and August 2015 (when we had time for this).

If you are a webmaster, your probaly noticed that your website is repeadedly attacked by various Viagra sellers, porno promoters  and other “web rats”, trying to use your server as a Spam relay.

We were curious to see where these intrusions attempts come from. So we developped a set of PHP scripts to collect what comes in our log files, and this it what it gives.

Important remark: This is based on Apache logs on our server, and it does not mean that any of the above companies are doing voluntar piracy. They just probably have one or several “web rats” using abusivly one of their computers. Until now, every “abuse” service contacted in these companies replied quickly and politly (except one).

    • Hi,
      I did not find time to investigate some more. Using “WordPress” to build my web sites, with security plugins like “Ithemes Security” seems to protects quite well. It’s important to keep all that software up to date (I ckeck once a week) and of course make backups every day.
      It miss a world cyber police, I think…

      I took a look at your website bout Bible, interesting..

      Regards,
      JFR
