AtoM site being attacked

[Tanis Franco]

Hello,

has anyone had problems with their AtoM site being attacked? Lately we have had constant issues with this. What did you do about it?

We have had to limit access which is not ideal.

Thank you

[Clara Rosales]

Good morning, Tanis,
Yesterday we detected robots and bots indexing our AtoM.
I don't know if it was global, but it forced us to expand the server resources.
Greetings!

Hi,

If the bots are using a consistent user agent string, visible in your access.log file, you can try configuring Nginx to block by the string. See the following message for further details:
