Spending a little time this morning improving performance to combat “hackers” making a bunch of requests to our servers, as they attempt to exploit holes that don’t exist. A large percentage of our total hosted blog traffic is just 404s. Waste of internet bandwidth. 🙁

Manton Reece @jonathan For sure. It’s a lot of “wp-” URLs but also dumb things like “database.sql” that I can’t believe has many real hits.
