We recently started getting email alerts like the following:
”The domain yourdomain.com is about to exceed its bandwidth limit”
We noticed that this was recurring. We also noticed that it was occurring in our article directories as well as our WordPress blogs.
After looking at out stats for the affected sites we noticed they all had one thing in common and that was they all had lots of bandwidth associated with IP addresses of the hosting company below:
SoftLayer Technologies Inc. SOFTLAYER-4-8
173.192.0.0 - 173.193.255.255
This huge bandwidth increase could be a combination of scrapers grabbing content or spam bots looking to place spam comments on WordPress blogs.
In any even we thought you should know.
