alt Hacker NewsI did find that, while running a financial startup, I was able to significantly reduce attacks on the server by disabling access from Russia and China. Not saying that's happening here, just my experience. That was a while ago so I'm sure things have changed since then.

Thanks for your reply! I hope this is the real reason of blocking. If that's not the case, that's at least not effective. Less effective than idk placing a banner in the header or whatever.
I mean I eventually read the article. Sorry for that. But we're at "Hacker News", sporting hackers ethics, aren't we?

That is it was more financially effective to block an entire country, than analyzing attack patterns and blocking by ASNs or IP-ranges. Correct?
