Is this an attack or a website issue?

    Hi Everyone,
    Yesterday I started seeing lots of page loads to links such as this on my website:
    “adwhois.com/yoplait-commercial-hunger/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/static/an/undefined/stati”

    Shown on Statcounter. According to statcounter I got about 3000 hits to pages like that, which don’t exist. I thought it was an attack at first because they started coming from XLHost and there were multiple page loads in a short period of time. I’m wondering now if maybe it’s not an attack but page loads that are looping somehow? The actual page for that link above is: https://www.adwhois.com/yoplait-commercial-hunger/ so I have no idea why it keeps adding ‘undefined/static/an/’ to end. Nothing had had changed before yesterday that would attribute to this problem. My site uses WP Super Cache.

    Here is a screenshot of what the pageloads look like according to statcounter: https://adwhois.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Popular-Page-Log1.png

    Has anyone seen this issue before? I’d really appreciate any help that can be offered.
    Thanks!

    Hi Everyone,

    Just figured I’d let people know that this turned out to be infolinks causing the issue. They have since remedied the problem and all is well.

    Cheers!
