Who's Messing With This Website?

UPDATE: AUGUST 2, 2012: Yes, I'm using Sitemeter to track my visits. About 19 out of every 20 visits are from 10.144.128.# and I don't know what the # is. I think that Sitemeter got hacked, or someone working at Sitemeter is messing with the settings. I don't know who is 10.144.128.# . Sitemeter doesn't tell me. But I think that Sitemeter got hacked, or someone working at Sitemeter is messing with settings there.

Sorry that I can't put my comments on my posts. It's a bug with Google, I think. I'm not sure how to solve it.

Have a good day.

What the...... ?? Who in tarnation is messing with this website? We're receiving what seems to be a long string of Bot hits, beginning this morning and continuing up until now.

The IP address (fourth number in sequence unknown) is: 10.144.128.#. Could be 10.144.128.53, for all I know. I haven't been able to verify whether it's a Bot or whether it's a hacker or attacker or a legit visitor. If you are trying to hack this website, what's up with that? (You aren't whom I first suspected you might be.)

Is that IP taken from Sitemeter? I am getting the same thing

http://sitemeter.com/?a=s&s=s24lumidek&r=8

and I am convinced that the Sitemeter has changed something, or people started to use IPv6, or something along these lines because the number of visits and the diverse structure where they go completely match to what I experienced before most of the IP addresses were reduced to this sequence, the same one.

Do you use sitemeter as a stat counter? All of my visitors have those same eight numbers in the beginning of the IP address. This started earlier today. I think it's a problem on its end, for some reason it's not displaying the appropriate IP addresses.

I can't even get info on visits b/c I get an error message to check back later.

Hi,

I did a search for this IP address because I'm getting the same thing and I found one other blog that's posted about the same issue. All beginning August 1. Strange.

I share your dilemma. For the past 2 days, my blog visitors all come from 10.144.128.#. I tried it and it seems that even my own browser seems to have been redirected to such IP address. My guess is that there seems to have been a centralization of routing of IP addresses. I came about this website looking for answers too.

I've been getting the exact same thing for the last 2 days. All my sitemeter visits are showing that 10.144.128.# incoming.

I've the same problem, it seems to be a Sitemeter error, because my blogger stats are ok

I'm getting the same thing! It's so weird! I'm glad I found this though because my first thought was "who the heck is that and why are they stalking my blog?!?" Now that I see others are getting it too I don't feel nearly as creeped out.
