We always say, “It’s not easy being Tonernews.com”, and here’s another reason why.
As soon as Russia’s war invasion of Ukraine started, we obviously did the what’s right for any industry news site and started to make the industry aware of news and events related to the war. Most of our news was in support of Ukraine since that’s what all the OEM’s also did in our industry. Tonernews.com has been getting hack attempts for over a decade now. Mostly from UK’s Therecycler.com and from unhappy Chinese toner cloner manufacturers, but now the Russian Federation itself is targeting Tonernews.com, and doing so very aggressively. We are happy to see all the security measures that we have in place are working, but we all know how fragile this can be.
Tonernews.com gets ten’s of thousands of hack attempts a month, this is now the new normal for any widely visited website. As usual we will of course keep everyone safe and informed. Thank you for reading Tonernews.com.
