    Hello,

    we saw a constant flooding of our website’s with the defender app.

    I renamed the defender app plugin to stop the flooding and since then it stopped. is this something that is picked up?

    WP version the latest 5.5
    Defender version 2.3.1

    Hi @evilkalah,

    That’s an odd issue. Sorry to hear it caused a high load on the server-side. I’m bringing these logs into our Defender teams attention and check on what aspects such logs would have occured and if there is anything specific that needs to be investigated regarding this or not.

    Will keep you posted once we get further feedback asap.

    Kind Regards,
    Nithin
