Question
Strange URL in my Access Log (http://yastatic.net/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css)
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?
