quirks on the internet

[legacy]

it's my speculation, but it seems that if you remove the word "marketplace" from the description of your website, and the number of attacks magically drops by the 50% 

We made a website, and in one year of experience, we got a lot of attacks, and we blocked something like 4000 IPs.

A couple of days ago we did a website restyling, basically

• we removed the word "marketplace" from the description of the website
• we changed the logo
• we changed the GDPR agreement in a nice way that doesn't annoy visitors

I do not consider the last two as relevant, anyway, we have also recently developed a very strong defensive system, which reacts on events, and saves logs as described here; so, since it saves logs on a file, you can also have a measure of the toxicity by counting how many attacks your website gets in a day/week/month/etc...

well ... maybe it's too soon, but it seems the above chances are making the difference since daily logs are already 50% less bloated, and if this is the reason, someone really doesn't like the word "marketplace" on a website. It's my speculation, we need to check logs in the next weeks to see if confirmed.

I think it's really interesting
