TFO withstands penetration attempt (OUCH!)

It appears that the folks over at TFO have been under an attack of some sort over the past hour or so...

I'm not sure yet as to the specific type of attack, but I thought I'd make this abundantly clear: If you attack Techfocus, there are a fair amount of indicators via logs as to who you are. I do not mine any data off this site for marketing purposes - but I do have tools to keep a handle on the site's security. I will make clear though that this does not proactively compromise regular visitor privacy - they are used when things look amiss. And something was very amiss.

Anyhow, I've determined who the attacker is with the help of the ISP and have confirmed it with the
ISP - hey, if you're going to attack, make sure you know what the hell you're
doing... if the attacker is reading this, you left one heck of a trail.
You'll be hearing from someone soon.
