Hit by bots even after deleting plugin

  • After trying and failing several attempts at this plugin which never worked on my site I finally gave up and deleted it. Now, I am getting hit by what I can only assume is a bot looking for the Faucet. It keeps hitting the page where the faucet was generating 404 errors on Google Analytics. It has been going on for several days. The page was disallowed for search engines to pick (has never been indexed). The faucet was up published (privately for me only) just for one day and never submitted anywhere. The bot is hitting from Germany according to analytics.

    So, I am assuming this plugin has some hidden code which is notifying your servers, and you or someone has a bot to try and gain satoshi – hence the 404’s.

    If that is not the case you should explain where this bot is coming from and why, and importantly why it is not disclosed. I want this stopped as it is skewing my analytics data.

  • Hi, bots are problem everywhere, I had 2 faucets that have been closed for 2 years now, and they still get bots. It’s not the fault of the plug-in, if you uninstalled it and deleted its files then there is nothing there. Even without a faucet, all my sites get periodic attacks. It’s just what happens. Don;t worry that it is anything to do with anything the plug-in did, there is nothing malicious.
