Hi,
I am very new to DO community and this is my first question to the forum. Since the last few days, we are noticing someone or something trying to access our web application may be with a bad intention. I am saying this based on logs found in the NGINX access log file. I’ve found 113 references of this try and I am copy/pasting below one set of it. The access log always come in the following sequence. And every time, it comes from a different IP address. We’ve no idea whatsoever what this can do to our site. So I’ll appreciate if someone can explain this.
