Guestbook plugin

Post by georg » Wed Nov 01, 2017 10:13 pm

Hi
From my server log i can se a lot of requests for the plugin.
Image
Has been going on for weeks now.
And --- I have not installed the guestbook plugin,
it is not on the server either.
Is there a problem with the plugin?
Any one else experienced the same?

Some Ukranian IP.... probably just randomly trying a URL, not much you can do other than add this IP to your htaccess denied IPs

I do not know what interesting things are hidden in the guestbook plugin.
It is going on 24/7 from all over the world.
(the plugin is still not on my server)

It is an impossible task to block all of them.

Yes, but there is nothing you can do. If the page does not exist it should not mean a major load on your server. The truth is, you cannot do anything
