Is Someone from Nextdoor Trying a Hacker Tactic?

Written By Niel Flamm

So, here’s an interesting data point from today…

At 4:23 PM ET, NielFlamm.com suddenly received a surge of hits — all at the same timestamp, all originating from what appears to be a VPN endpoint in the United States.

Could it be a coincidence? Sure.
Could it also be someone trying to flood traffic to disrupt or throttle my site? Also, possible.

Given the very public discussions I’ve been having on Nextdoor about transparency and accountability, I can’t ignore the timing. I’ve been asking for dialogue. Instead, I get canned responses… and now a burst of cloaked traffic?

If anyone from Nextdoor (or anyone who understands this tactic) wants to clarify, I’m all ears.
In the meantime, thanks for the traffic, I guess.
