That's not so bad.
A few months ago, a ran my daily report showing user sessions,
locale, broswers, etc. Every time I ran the report, the page was
"hijacked" and I was taken off site to another site. And I kept
asking "WTF?"
Code was fine, hadn't touched the code in weeks. Well, I store basic
data on my users, such as browser name so that I know when a
particular piece of code is going to go over with 90/95% of users.
Doesn't everyone? Finally found that the "visitor" had a browser
name of
< SCRIPT > window.location='http://txt2pic.com' </script>
(compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR
2.0.50727)
People will try anything.

Over the past few days I've noticed some rudimentary attempts to do

The stuff I'm getting is your typical '1=1 and user>0' type stuff
added to the end of URLs. Looks almost like they may be using
Google to hack for possible vulnerable strings in CFML sites. I
know this has been very popular with .asp pages, maybe they are
moving onto .cfm now as well.
In any case, I am double checking our security and think we are
fine, still, not having encountered this, I was wondering what some
of you all might do in similar instances.
I am noticing the attacks are coming to several of our sites from
the same group of IP addresses. Is there a place to report this
type of activity? Should you just shut off access entirely for
these IPs? I know the worst problems with hackers is that once
they are in, they are really tough to get rid of, but at the same
time I'd hate to cut off access to a group of IPs if say it was
like Comcast customers and not the RowandanNationalGreatDeals.com
or something.
Thanks,
Cheyenne
