In May, our site took a severe pounding by spammers and crackers, which flooded our site, consuming all of our bandwidth. To solve the problem we had to disable our forum site, which we did not want to have to do.

Fortunately, we found a solution to the problem using some control commands in Apache to block the attacks. This has allowed us to re-enable our forum site.

As you can see, the June bandwidth is back to normal compared to the April and May bandwidth. The spikes you see are the attacks launched against our site.
