Kyivstar.net – How to Block this Dangerous Network from Ukraine via .htaccess
We had to block the whole range of IPs of this dangerous network from Ukraine, using .htaccess. We were gettings hundreds of spam and hack attempts from them daily.
While it is not very practical to block each and every IP using .htaccess, we think Kyivstar.net should be totally blocked because the hacking attempts from their IPs were rather strong.
While they provide Mobile communications, it smells like a botnet hosting farm. Hard to believe all those attacks are coming from mobile phones.
Here is what to add (or merge the “deny” only IPs) in your .htaccess to block them. Be sure you know what you are doing when editing your .htaccess file.
<Limit GET POST>
