The Firewall plugin detected two injection attempts last Friday, April 3, 2009 at around 1357 hours from the same IP address 84.45.45.133 as reported by the Firewall plugin. Watch your logs and look for suspicious activity. I STRONGLY suggest WordPress blog owners install the Firewall plugin.

This attack was directed at a well-known plugin. The IP never even tried to look at the blog just issued a command to the plugin itself.

Need help securing your blog? I follow Lorelle On WordPress.  She wrote an article in March that is a must read. Go here.

I just wish there was a central clearing house to upload hack attempts so that people in the know could review them and distribute hack events and code ideas to plugin developers. Shouldn’t someone be keeping track of the villains and their shenanigans?

A spam bot identifying as being at svservers.com has been harassing this blog for days now. The bot continues to try and hit the same post from many different IP addresses. AKISMET kills every attempt and I go through periodically and block the IPs. I see that many other blogs have been hit by the same bot.

Where is it and who owns it and how can the world get these creeps shut down?
