tokyoguy Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I've been noticing a lot of unwanted attention to my store from an IP address in Korea (I'm in Japan). At first the IP BLock contrib seemed to stop it in its tracks. But now (using same IP range but a different address) it seems to be immune to that method. After getting the full IP range, I've blocked it using the htaccess "deny from...". But it's still showing up in the "Who's Online" in admin. Usually shows about 170 "guests online," but the vast majority are the same IP address. I've looked at the available contributions and there are a few I'm thinking of implementing (IP Trap, Security Pro). But I need to look into those in more detail before making any decisions, and I'd like to stop this particular problem asap. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions? Quote
tokyoguy Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 Just a quick update. I've used the Simple Down for Maintenance contrib to see what would happen. The site's been down for about 10 minutes and now the Who's Online in admin shows about 130 entries for the maintenance page (index-maint.php). The spammer's IP address is again showing for almost all of them (sorry to the handful of regular customers affected!), with a different osCsid each time. How can I shake this guy off? Quote
