So apparently someone decided to try and "hack" us.
Their rate of testing got so intense that it was causing server-load issues like a Denial of Service attack. I honestly thought that's what it was until I started digging into what they were doing. But if you noticed a lot of lag, some down time, etc, it was them literally just overloading the server with failed attacks.

1,484,968 different attempts at SQL-Injection from one proxy.
51,097 attempts from another.
(Zero successful).

The only casualty is that I'll need to turn Cloudflare back on just to prevent them from stressing the server with failed attempts if they try again.


Remember kids, always sanitize your inputs.
