Overun by Russian/hacker SEO referrals
10/17/2014 12:22
Hello,

I noticed around the middle of September an increasing number of non-existent referrals by russian / ukrainian urls as recorded in AWSTATS, and as of today the total number of urls exceeds 80 and referrals exceed 170.

Suffice to say this is beginning to drive me crazy.

I have diligently tried to block many of these IP's to no avail.
Ip blocking no longer seems to work.
I have created an ACL in the attempt to block the entire Russian Fed.
No help. In fact this seems to have made it even worse.

My htaccess file is over 425k,

I would think that this should be a serious issue for the good folks who run and program the servers at Dynadot, for ultimately these hackers are infiltrating Dynadot servers, not mine.

I have read somewhere that there is a server-level C-Panel widget that can be used to generate codes for blocking IP blocks.

I need help solving this situation as this has become unacceptable.

Regards,

RTS in MTL
