Hi

I'm watching the customers online feature in admin and I'm getting multiple requests for non existent zip files in the domain route, for example;

http://domian1.com/english.zip
http://domain1.com/secret.zip

and loads more, on both the primary domain and another domain I'm testing multistore with.

Is this some form of hacker, and if so how do I block these attempts?

Can I do a global *.zip redirect and send them off to a blackhole?

I get those all the time on my sites. I use cidram which is great at protecting sites from bad traffic.

I think I've cured it.

We have a 301 Redirect module installed and I used that to redirect */*.zip and */*.csv to an image hosted off my server.

Seems to have stopped them.

That'll work but is still not as secure as using CIDRAM.
