Looking over the stats, here's what those nefarious characters are using to try to hijack your website:
  • yourinndomain (ie - if your inn domain is 'happycamperinn' that's what the hijackers are using) DON'T use your inn name as your logon name! DON'T use your own name! DON'T use variations of either! (Side note - if you write posts on your website blog, get a second user name for that and do not give that user admin properties. The name of the post writer can be shown which just gives the bad guys another name to try.)
  • admin
  • administrator
  • test
That is the end of today's PSA, you may now resume your web surfing...
