Tonight while checking statistics, I noticed that one user had an unusually high volume of bandwidth on one of my sites (on the East server). After looking into the logs, I found out that they were repeatedly loading the same page over and over again. After discovering this, I made attempts to ban their IP. However, I've never had this problem, and never had to do this before, and I suspect I may have edited the htaccess file for that directory incorrectly.
In any case, I'm not able to access the server to edit the file again, and it seems to be down or inaccessible, so I don't know what to do.
The IP of the suspected attacker is 36.74.182.195.
