Unexpected benefit

Had someone in the Russian Federation try to brute-force into the website today.  As it turns out, the attack was a complete waste.  One of the anti-spam measures installed on the website prevented them from seeing anything except an access denied message on the hundred or so attempts to generate my password and hack into the site.

Even if they had generated my password, it still wouldn’t have gone through, because they were blocked prior to the code that would have let them in even processed.

Doubt that the coders of the anti-spam scripts had it in mind, but here’s a big thumbs up to them anyway 🙂
