10-31-2025: Denial-of-service attack on my WordPress

The view count increased by 100 in just one hour since I first received a notification from WordPress. The numbers just aren’t adding up, and my website is experiencing slow access issues. The last time this happened, it was due to a denial-of-service attack about a year ago when I was deeply involved in researching the Philippines’ ‘Assertive Transparency Initiative.’ It’s interesting how these issues have resurfaced now that I’ve returned to this topic. Unfortunately, I let my Netgear Armor security subscription lapse, so I didn’t receive any notifications this time.

DoS Attack 10-12-2024

The last one that I noticed was on June 11, 2024. I believe that I got a few false alerts, as they didn’t coincide with my visits to the site.

Usually, these DoS attacks happen the day after I post something with my research. The only thing that I posted on the 11th was about Japan and the Unification Church. It wasn’t anything too extensive. It was the 12th that I posted about the Philippine Army visiting the Sixteenth Air Force, which is responsible for information warfare.

Denial of service attacks, still. Why?

My WordPress still gets attacked, despite my visitors being practically null. As you can see, my visitors have declined by 50% since the attacks started happening. Whoever is doing it has succeeded, but I suppose they aren’t going to stop until my visitors are at zero. FYI, I don’t count the views because most of those are probably mine when I double-check the site or search for a previous post. I’ll admit that it’s discouraged me from posting. Most of the work that I’ve been doing is on YouTube (or Rumble) and working on Google Docs. I need to transfer some documents to my pages soon. Anyway, I appreciate those of you who continue to read my posts! Welcome to my new followers, as well!

It’s interesting, to me, that people are finding my WordPress site via Baidu and Yandex.

The IP has changed but it’s still WordPress’ Automattic.

You Will Own Nothing and You Will Be Happy…or Not

My internet is down, and I still can’t access my Google Documents. After resetting my network settings, once again, I found that it’s now Charter Communications (Spectrum) that is down. Depending on cloud storage for Google Documents, and a subscription business model (along with cloud storage) for Apple Music, made me think of this TED talk that I watched a few months ago.

No, I haven’t found any connection to the World Economic Forum, and I’m not going to waste any more time looking, as that’s not the point of this post. I do wonder how many people, who believe in the ‘Great Reset’, use either cloud storage or a subscription service. Just do a search for the World Economic Forum and cloud computing, or the World Economic Forum and subscription business model, and you’ll see that they mention them, often.

Anyway, I need to stop dilly-dallying around, online, and set up my laptop. That and install my new modem and wireless mesh network. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while now. First, I need some sleep.
