Hundreds of requests per minut

    Sadly I had to deactivate the plugin because “something in Russian” is making hundreds of requests to the Chatbot. As you can see in the attached image.


    I was surprised to see the consumption of the OpenAI API and in the “Discussions” section of the plugin I have seen what is happening.
    No question from the User appears, only the answers in Russian from the IA.
    I deleted the API, created new ones, but nothing. I even created a new account in OpenAI but still the same. Every time I activate the plugin it comes back with hundreds of Russian requests.
    Does anyone know how to fix this or where can be the problem?

    Hi @marieannluve,

    You are not alone ?? We are a dozens of people with the same issue, exactly the same attack.

    Please update to the latest version (1.3.95). It should get rid of the issue right away.

    If it doesn’t, you can also try to reject queries based on words. In this case, look at your Discussions tab, and make a list of words that looks like repeating themselves (they always use the same kind of vocabulary). You can also ask ChatGPT to make a list of keywords for you based on those texts. When you have this list separated by commas, paste it into the “Banned Words” of AI Engine > Settings > Security.

    I hope this will help ??

    Thank you @marieannluve! ?? And also, if the request is empty, it will be also rejected. So we have two layers of protection against those attacks now. Don’t hesitate to leave a little review if you have time by the way, it always helps! And lovely Sunday to you!
