2 days ago: How to Tell Your Community, Project or Company is Being Infiltrated by Saboteurs

In 2022 and 2023 this site and its community - and my wife as well - were under attack. We've already explained those attacks in the past and we put an end to them by 2024. Writing more about what happened proved to be very important. The people who did bad and sometimes illegal things essentially ran away. They realised it was backfiring on them and wasn't worth the risk anymore.
