Reviews can be scary things.
In the post on the r/scams subreddit that lead me to this particular scam, there was mention of a fairly well-known company with a review site that charged businesses to at least move negative reviews out of the way. Because I do not want to get sued, I will not mention which business this is. Also, I have no way of verifying this is true.
Not related to the above, but I think I’ve hit some nerves - or my site is becoming known enough that I’m starting to see attackers, all from Russian IP addresses. Unfortunately for them, this site is entirely static. A lot of the attacks seem to be for Wordpress or TinyMCE/TinyEditor given the PHP files they try to find. I built this site entirely static so that I did not have to worry about vulnerabilities.
