HACKED? Website Email Within Wealthy Affiliate Under Attack!
Website Email Under Wealthy Affiliate Flooded With Alerts
So I have 3 websites created within Wealthy Affiliate. One out of 3 websites promoting survival and solar products is gettting bombarded with Email Alerts such as a warning from login attempts from Shanghi (sic) China. Looks like low-intelligence kind of email. Take a look...
IP Address Verification: The IP Included In The Email Is Located In The Netherlands.
So I look for an IP address locator and here is what I find.... The IP address included in the first image is not from China. It is from The Netherlands.
Who Do I Call: Site Support
I sent my moans and groans to Site Support and waiting for response. I have this great feeling that it neither comes from China nor The Netherlands. I have my antenna pointing to the City Next door to me.
And That Is All For Now Folks!
No sense in making this post longer than it should be. Whoever is doing all this is having a good time with his game. What he is accomplishing is slowing down my progress. This all started from the time I posted my newly minted-renamed site www.survival24seven.com.
Some Parties Hate Websites On Survival?
Only they know! Losers of this world. But they are brave in hiding. Cowards in the daylight. Afraid of the sunlight. Anyway, do not create any websites on survival! You could get targeted.

I know what you mean,
shame that some people are born to be
human when really they should have born as worms,
unless it was a use for them and they will have helped the soil.........
have a good day
You are absolutely right Pietro...worms in human form!
Ha ha ha.
Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry for the trouble you are facing. These are the occupational hazards of online business, that is one of the reasons I find this reason alone justifies paying for reliable and secure website hosting. Carson replied with a good explanation on the intent of the intruder and what they are trying to do.
Well, my website and email account are hosted by Wealthy Affiliate. What did Carson have to say about these intruders?
Never mind I just saw and responded to Carson's message.
Thanks for the feedback Stanley.

I agree with Carson. This email did not come from your website. Do not click on the button! It's a would-be hacker trying to hijack your website.
Hello there Marion.
Thanks for the feedback. I am wondering how we could up our defenses from these intrusions within the Wealthy Affiliate domain including our emails from within WA?
I have Norton 360 premium account and I use this for my computers. I wonder if they can help.
Thanks.
Joe
I use an email client that filters out the junk email. Domain Specific WA Site Email Using Thunderbird free Thunderbird learns what you consider junk and marks the new stuff accordingly.

I hate that this happened to you but it serves as a warning to others. As long as I live, I will NEVER understand what makes people to things like this. IN any case, what I do find admirable is the support we have here. Carson stepped right in -- him and Kyle always amaze me. This is a good place to be!!!!

Hey Debbi! Thanks for dropping by! Indeed it was great that Carson dropped by and left a re-assuring comment.
Hopefully we will have additional protection from all these nuisance.
