Shopping carts hacking attempt

[aographics]

Hi all,

I'm now using Prestashop version 1.2.3.

I was just looking at my Back office -> Customers -> Carts. I can see thousands of Guest carts that seems to be created automatically, possibly by a bot script, in random intervals. Some carts were created within 1 second intervals.

How do I delete them?
How do I avoid them?
Will the hacker be able to kill my website by creating so many carts?

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

check the access logs - block the ips that you think that are bots.

it won't kill your server but to delete your carts open adminDirectory/tabs/AdminCarts.php

change $this->delete = false;
to
$this->delete = true;

and from now on you can delete your carts

For the record... I had the same problem (random carts appearing for no reason, often 20 or 30 at a time separated by only a few seconds). I traced it to GoogleBot crawling my site with a token of some kind. A robots.txt file excluding all bots from order.php and cart.php seems to have fixed the problem.

Prestashop now must have a custom field for antispam's feature in order to avoid the bot pass the registration form
