Hello guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I bet you can help me solving this. I need some ideas please
Increasingly, I’m noticing waves of requests coming to one customer’s store with the following format:
example.com.com/category/whatever/?add_to_wishlist=12161&add-to-cart=12183
This produce a high load, overloading the server. I’ve already looked at the logs and these requests come from hundreds of distinct IPs, from lots of countries which definitely are not the target of the store. All at the same time. So it must be a botnet. I need to block it.
So... How can I block this bad behaviour using .htaccess rules to deny a request when the TWO exact parameters concur in the same requested URL? Do you know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
