The reason for all those 500 errors…

We are being flooded by hack attempts. Here is an excerpt of the access logs:

It’s all coming from the same host, and I have a pretty good idea of what they are attempting… But I’m not sure if it’s an automated attack and I’m a random victim or it’s a personal attack against [YACG].

I will take care of this ASAP and let you guys now what this is all about…
