This is consistent with activity on our other clients websites. One thing that we've noticed is an increase in social engineering attempts. However, we have tight controls put into place to guard against such attacks. It's amazing how he's become such a target. We're proud to host him and look forward to protecting his site for years to come. Chad,

I can only imagine it's a ton. He's been hacked over and over again... Even as a customer on at&t. I’d be curious what firehost is blocking since they got Mitnick on their network.
