Howdy,
New BPS Free user here.
As per the title, BPS is doing a fine job of sending the security logs from this hosting account where there was previously a Joomla! 1.5.x install that was compromised. Sucuri did the site clean up and successfully removed the malware and has submitted the request to SiteAdvisor to remove the Blacklisting. I installed the latest WP 4.1 (now updated to 4.1.1) and the latest BPS Free and rebuilt the site. All seemed well until I started receiving the numerous security logs. Checking the hosting account (shared Linux at Go Daddy), I noticed the resources being heavily used (for the low traffic volume this site gets) and the Access Logs were relatively ‘huge’. My question is, is there anything I can set in BPS to stop these requests or is this something that has to be accomplished by another means.
Here is one of many entries from one of the most recent the BPS Security Logs:
[403 GET / HEAD Request: February 19, 2015 - 8:28 pm] Event Code: PSBR-HPR Solution: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/security-log-event-codes/ REMOTE_ADDR: 178.32.58.65 Host Name: 178.32.58.65 SERVER_PROTOCOL: HTTP/1.1 HTTP_CLIENT_IP: HTTP_FORWARDED: HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR: HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP: REQUEST_METHOD: GET HTTP_REFERER: REQUEST_URI: /plugins/system/plugin_googlemap2/plugin_googlemap2_proxy.php?url=www.soapboxrotations.com QUERY_STRING: HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0
Cheers!
