    Hi

    My site isn’t finished at all, but receives 100s of visits from suspicious looking sources. Doesn’t look like we’re breached, no data spikes, just lots of visits that worry me. See screenshot for sources https://postimg.cc/py8dsRKB

    Thank you for looking into this

    Look at the access logs for any site and you’ll see that same sort of junk. It’s like the folks who walk down the street jiggling door handles and checking for unlocked doors on houses and cars. They’re annoying, but if you have decent security (i.e., strong passwords, limit login attempts, etc.) it’s not an issue.

    Sorry for the late reply, it was a botnet but didn’t cause any issues
