I consider myself to be very knowledgeable when it comes to security. I have worked in the security field for about 10 years but being hacked happens to the best of us.

My ordeal started early last week when I got awakened out of my sleep  to the sound of my phone texting me that my server was running out of memory. I usually get a text about 3 or 4 times a day but usually it means that the server’s traffic is spiking. But that night it went off about 45 times so I knew something was up.
