• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Hello,
today i checked my grafana board and saw high cup usage and my 500Gb disk space was full.

htop shows fail2ban-server and systemd-logind 100% usage.
I searched for big files with the following command.
Bash: 
find / -type f -size +100M -exec du -h {} + 2>/dev/null | sort -r -h
259G    /var/log/auth.log
144G    /var/log/daemon.log
39G    /var/log/syslog.1
18G    /var/log/syslog

I stoped the fail2ban service temporarily to solve the problem.
Was my server hacked or is someone trying to hack it, or is it "only" a plesk problem.

Debian with Plesk Obsidian 18.0.48
 
Very similar to an attack on your server. I think it would be worth examining the fail2ban logs, for example, to get more details.
