I was reviewing my Access log on my Droplet with Ubuntu and Apache and found a ton of entries with different IP address redirecting to a URL that doesn’t belong to me. Here’s an example of a few entries in my Access log:
74.211.23.20 - - [12/Jun/2020:01:22:01 -0600] “GET http://yastatic.net/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css HTTP/1.1” 301 553 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36” 92.221.111.23 - - [12/Jun/2020:01:24:11 -0600] “GET http://yastatic.net/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css HTTP/1.1” 301 553 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36” 95.43.63.16 - - [12/Jun/2020:01:24:37 -0600] “GET http://yastatic.net/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css HTTP/1.1” 301 553 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36”
Any ideas how this happening and how to stop it?

Hi @bbeams,
It seems you have this bootstrap cdn configured somewhere in your application. You should be able to find it using grep. Here is what I’ll try
grep -ril 'yastatic.net'/path/to/your/website
This should display the files in which yastatic.net is actually in. From there you can find it in the files.
Since this is a bootstrap cdn, I believe this would be from your theme. Most themes use bootstrap but a little bit reworked for their needs.
