I'm betting no. Thanks to donations, I was able to purchase additional security measures that will help prevent your computers from getting ransomware in the very remote chance the server was to get hacked. You can't be too careful these days (just ask the city of Atlanta). Also, I was able to put into place a measure that automatically kicks out any Russian IP address that is known to be of "bot origination".

I put this in place way early this morning and already it has rejected 232 Russian and 14 Iranian IP addresses. That said, I had to adjust the donation dollar amount and the amount still needed (http://www.wildguzzi.com/donations.htm). We're still on track though.

I'm hoping this will increase performance and make this puppy run even faster :-)

I'll always applaud anyone who increases security - and I sent a little extra to put my money where my mouth is.

I've noticed that we now have a solid Italian flag instead of the constant circling.. for whatever that means.

Appreciate all the kudos folks. Maintenance is just part of it, sorta like our bikes. I've been wanting to to this security patch for years, but the funds were lacking. With the recent scare in Atlanta, I thought I'd better do it now just in case.

I will say that Rocker and Dusty probably work much harder than I do and we all owe them a beer
