    Good afternoon, I received several notifications of attempted intrusions and the report indicates directories of the LiteSpeed ​​plugin. There were more than 100 attempts on one site alone. I remove the plugin and a few minutes it appears installed again, without any intervention from me.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello, thanks for the feedback. Several requests are being made for files in the /wp-content/litespeed/cssjs/daa5d.js changing only the .js file name.

    There have been over 3000 requests today. I believe that some script is working on the site via the LiteSpeed ​​plugin. A copy of the W3 Total Cache plugin files is made in the root folder of my hosting, I believe to confuse it because it is cache routines. I have never installed the W3 Total Cache plugin, only LiteSpeed. I am available to provide any information that may help.

    One more piece of information, when I disable and remove the plugin it appears installed and active again on my website after some time.

    Hi,

    That file is generated by JS optimization feature , and each time you purge cache , it will be re-generated , and changing name.

    hmmmmm, you mean you didn’t install W3TC , but it appear up in your site ? perhaps you should check with your provider if they installed it for you ?

    Hello, I’ve checked with the provider, it wasn’t them. Why are the attacks concentrated on these files? Today, more than 300 attempts have been classified as “lockout”.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    I am not sure what do you mean by “lockout” ? like request denied ?

    is there any completed log ?

    maybe you are under (D)DoS attack , if that file not exist, it will hit WP 404 page, in which , it consumes resources to process 404 page.

    Hello, I believe that’s it. I just wanted to inform you that the plugin is being targeted by this type of attack, perhaps a vulnerability?

    Thank you for your attention!
