I was flipping through the stats on my blog and noticed something interesting. At this point I have about 90,000 pageviews. That is not what got my attention. What I found interesting is that one post had 20,000. Spambots are awesome, and persistent. If I could find out what attracts them to that post I could become the internet king overnight.
That in itself was not what I really found interesting. What got my attention was that when I clicked on “all time” three countries stood out as sources. China, Russia and Brazil with China being the darkest of the three. When I click on “month” China disappears but Russia and Brazil remain with Russia darkest.
When you hear about how China and Russia are working hard on cyber attacks you might like to understand that you are also a target of those attacks. It isn’t just the government they are after. They want access to everyone and that means you.
You might redo that war time poster that says, “Uncle Sam wants you” and replace it with one saying “Chairman Mao wants you.”
Keep your firewall up.

I wonder if some of that isn't them trying to get a feel for those rare folks who are still capable of thought.
ReplyDeleteI would not put it past both foreign governments and our own elites to be concerned about that. But as one blogger said when people criticized him for posting a picture of his truck with the license showing, "They know where I am anyway."
DeleteWe are already on their lists but why make it easy for them?
