Hello Guys,
so i tried to access my website via my admin panel , however i received an error message from my hosting company stating the following
"Error 429 to many concurrent accesses"
I have noticed now that i get bombarded by spammers/bots , which are fake registering /Login , they are also sending spam emails with attached files to my support email adress.
I contacted my hosting company and changed the domain path to " This domain is parked by easyname" So they are at least not directly on my website

I am really completly overwhelmed and unsure what to do.
I am very new to opencart and do not know how to handle this situation.

If there is any kind soul who is willing to help me solve this dilema , then i would be very very grateful .

Have a great day!

Hi HerbalGrow2021,

It might rather have to do with the DDoS many have been experiencing this morning.
You might want to try this fix: viewtopic.php?f=179&t=225771&start=20#p836204

And there are other very useful suggestions in that thread about fake accounts as well that would be worth implementing.

Hope this helps!

You can also enable the google recaptcha extension for both registration and contact pages. It may help to reduce spam on the frontend.
For admin, you can also take a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=179&t=225771.
The best way will be to use a firewall, you can try https://dash.getastra.com/seal/verify/B ... fe_Rb7rzxS.

How about more information about your website? What version are you using, are passwords strong, what's the domain, does it use basic security practices?
