UX Design, about page, WordPress shakeup, Bluesky icon, gated content, DeekSeek, alt text, Adobe Project Concept, Openvibe and Danish cookies. I noticed a big traffic spike on one of my own Web sites a few days ago. Then I got a very weird phone call with someone frantic about an email they received. It seems whoever sent the email had included a link to my site and thus the traffic spike. I have no idea who really sent the email and I certainly have no connection to whatever it said. It was just spam and/or a phishing attempt that include my site as collateral damage. Thankfully our only issue was the traffic spike and not anything more.
