The main problem is that Microsoft no longer supports the World War II era web servers.
I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist myself.
I post this in good spirit, the MVPA is a great organization.

Subject: Re: [MV] MVPA attacked again
Based upon guess work only, I would think the MVPA would have hired a
hosting site, whose job it would be to stop the attacks, not the staff at
the MVPA. How many of us, even in the field of computers, are expert at
hardening a web server? Especially if it's based on Windows, which a home
remedy probably would be.
