I'd think it was something I posted, and some sort of Russian Reddit equivalent, except for the fact it appears widespread.

I've seen a spike in traffic from China, although it's still less than 5% of my US traffic.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-18515124433493608652016-08-01T12:30:30.235-04:002016-08-01T12:30:30.235-04:00Viewing from Philippines ... that be me!

I have only one way of knowing if they did that, which I'm not even sure works, and it didn't report any such attempts. I'm talking about them visiting the blog like anyone else can. <br /><br />In general, every blogger likes visitors, right? I'm just as happy to get Russian visitors as anybody. The curiosity is the sudden surge in visits from Russia that we all saw and wondering why. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-2457173837391139452016-08-01T11:53:49.457-04:002016-08-01T11:53:49.457-04:00The internet is not simply "unsafe" it i...The internet is not simply "unsafe" it is a smorgasbord for hackers. It is not accidental. When the hi-tech industry that creates the language and the protocals they get input from the commercial/business community (i.e. those who make money or gain power using the internet). These groups and individuals wanted tricks and backdoors in the system, NOT to commit crimes but to make sure that users had to accept their cookies, see their ads and that they could collect information about them. The hackers have simply used these tricks and backdoors to access things which should never be on the internet. <br />When I hear that some government agency has been hacked and secrets stolen I truly believe someone in those agencies needs to go to jail. The internet should never be connected to systems with secrets on them. Ditto for corporations whose proprietary data gets stolen. Yes the internet is incredibly useful but do not put anything there you do not want printed in the newspaper. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
