A small side project of mine got found by scammers who loved to use stolen credit cards on it :-(. It made me need to prioritize some extra safety and consider whether it was worth keeping the project live with so little real usage. So apparently I'm better at getting the wrong kind of attention.

The droplet that hosts my blog (mostly static files) got hacked into (I think) a botnet and I had to spend hours rebuilding it. There is nothing worse than having your hard work misused by people for a tiny financial gain.

That is something increasingly happening to people without traditional IT background’s using AI assisted coding. They are now able to create and run their own products. Don’t get me wrong here, i strongly believe thats an awesome situation and chance, but brings loads of responsibility with it. I added a new service to my company portfolio to support these. As this is a hot topic, i got an unexpected amount of traffic and inquiries. https://secure-vibe-coding.de/
