Hi all,
The issue of performance over the last few days seems to be an attempt by someone to steal our
shop content in an effort to launch there own
shop using our product set (lol own - lets steal someone else work and call it our own). It appears that someone using the IP address of 144.137.241.106 (A bigpond WA internet account) has written a program to open hundreds of sessions on our site and extract the contents for whatever reasons. It is this process that has been causing our server to go slow for periods and report thousands of sessions.
Unfortunatley I cannot trace the owner yet. I have blocked the IP address for now so that should stop it for now however I would expect that this person will start up using a different IP if they have not already stolen the information.
Please be on the look out for a new online
shop that boosts our product range and let me know if you find any of our images, artwork or digital coverage maps on another site.
