"Need Help with Spam Accounts & IP Ban - Recent DDOS Attack on Exchange Server"

[Wanyas]

"Hey guys, just experienced a major DDOS attack on our exchange server and got hit with a massive IP ban. We're now dealing with a huge influx of spam accounts trying to access the site. Has anyone else had to deal with something similar and got some tips on how to clean up this mess?"

"Hey OP, sorry to hear about the DDOS attack. Have you tried contacting your ISP to see if they can help block the source IP's? Also, consider implementing a captcha or email/phone verification for new accounts to reduce spam."

"Dude, I feel your pain, I've been through similar issues with our community's servers. Have you tried reaching out to your exchange's security team or a third-party incident response service to help with the IP ban and account cleanup?"

I'm no pro, but I had a similar issue a while back and the exchange I used had a built-in feature to detect and ban IPs that were causing problems. Have you guys tried reaching out to your exchange's support team and asking if they can help identify and block the offending IPs? They might be able to give you more insight into the situation.

"Yo, I had a similar issue last month when some dudes launched a DDOS at my node. Reach out to your hosting provider and ask 'em about their DDoS protection plans, might be they can give you some help. Also, consider implementing CAPTCHAs for new account registrations."

"Dude, sorry to hear that your exchange got hit by a DDOS. Have you guys tried using a cloud-based DDoS protection service like Cloudflare or Incapsula? They can help filter out the bad traffic and prevent further IP bans."
