Right, I think we are saying the same thing. Nearly no action is taken by the swarm of bots which causes the table to clear.

Two days ago I cleared the cache / emptied the table. I then waited 2 days. Today the ubbt_online table had 491,392 entries in it and the system was extremely slow. I manually cleared the cache. The table is filling right back up again. So it's not even that I can make a weekly post to stay ahead of this. I'd need to make at least a daily post / do a daily cache clear.

I will ping you giz. i don't have the time but will address this due to risk.

Luckily CloudFlare had a set of WAF rules to protect sites pretty quickly implemented; so users behind their service were safeguarded until their hosts implemented the fixes.

My servers are CentOS Stream servers so patches were pretty painless to implement through the update manager on the systems.
