- Vimeo: Waltz Around Saturn A great example of why space exploration needs to be paid for by the government, and not a commercial entity. These 200,000 images would be locked up by copyright and cool things like this would never see the light of day (pun intended).
New Attacker URLs
An attacker scanned my web sites this morning for URLs including these files.
- zboard.php
- logx.txt
- wp-includes/wp-script.php
- wp-includes/wp-services.php
- wp-includes/class-wp-customize-client.php
- thumb_editor.php
- wp-includes/jahat.php
- wp-content/uploads/images.php
None of these files are part of a WordPress installation. So if you see them in your system, give it a much closer look to see if something bad is happening on your site. Check your logs, and look at the file itself (but not through your browser, but offline!).
Today’s attacker came from 178.77.99.29 (hca-erfurt.de.), which is in Germany.
