we're under attack. 

the server shut down hard last night at some point around 2130~2200, and it didn't come back to life until this morning around 0730 or so.  

since then i've been chasing robots from germany who are eating all the resources they can, and presumably to defeat security... i'm guessing so they can make this server a zombie for their bull shit.  

they appear to be a cybercurrency miner/reseller.  

why buy and maintain their own resources when they can steal ours? ..... assholes...

all i can do is wait for them to start consuming mpm workers, and then restart apache... it kicks them off and they have to start over.... problem, it kicks us off too... the guys i lease the server from are aware and doing what they can do... all that really can be done is to block them by IP, but they keep proxy'n those so it's hard to nail it down... hopefully they'll give up and leave, soon.

The worst part is the hackers don't even like college football.
