*** Public Service Announcement ***

Issue:

After complete removal of the plugin, NitroPack, the servers and/or IPs associated with NitroPack continue to ping or scrape websites for information via the user agent: Nitro-Webhook-Agent.

Attacking IPs:

46.101.77.196
159.65.180.53

Recommendations:

  1. Requesting Team SiteGround investigate in more detail this finding for comments and/or update their WAF rules for additional user protection.
  2. Until the issue is solved (permanently) by the developers of NitroPack, highly recommend blocking the above IPs and User Agent via Security Optimizer and/or CDN (via WAF rule).

Thank you!
