• The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Issue Protect wordpress sites against bot/scrapers causing 100% CPU/RAM load.

Plesk version and microupdate number

Hello, we are facing attacks of bots/scrapers on some of our servers sometimes (Multiple domains at once)
This is causing a 100% CPU load across all the cores so all websites become unreachable and the plesk admin UI becomes slow

We enabled the Wordpress Security measures from the Plesk UI on all of the sites that stopped the XMLRPC attacks but there are still attacks that come true
the apache-badbots does not seem to pick them up either and block there IP's the only thing we could do so far is just wait til the attack finished (The last one took quite some time)
