LiquidFractal Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Just wondering if anyone else checking their Error logs has noticed something like 500-1000 requests at a time trying to execute lines like this on their server? I'm getting this on one of my sites: https://www.mysite.com/notifications/?do=followers&follow_app=blog&follow_id=60&follow_area=entry2121121121212.1 One of the worst culprits resolves to Arizona, variations on p3nlwpweb060.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net. Pretty sure there's nothing to be done, and there have been no successful attacks - just wondering if anyone has seen this? These requests come to me from IPs all over the world, like I said often 500-1000 requests over a very short period of time. Even after I raised the loggable error setting number, this time I got 1538 log pages of requests in 48 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
