I just had someone do a DoS attack on HoF because they were trying to scan the community section of the site and grab email addresses. The good news is that they failed. The bad news is that they tried a few thousand times and slowed the machine down quite a bit. For this reason, I'm going to make the community section (where the community members post their pics and such) accessible only to those who are both signed up to the site and logged in. In addition, I'm going to automatically 'hide' everyone's email address in that section along the lines of this article: http://www.fusionauthority.com/alert/index.cfm?alertid=121#tags5 These are quick and easy fixes to the problem. A more complete fix will be investigated and put into effect in time.
