urn:acme:error:rateLimited

HI! Thisis my first post.
i’ve my own server. With Plesk.
Today i receive an email from root where say me, i request too many new certificates.
BUT i don’t use this domain. i don’t request any certificates. Server is protected and no any attach or intrusion on log.
What can i do ?
Thanks!!

Hi @andsec

what's your domain name? Or is it simple phishing spam?

Did you checked it with

if there are certificates created?

https://crt.sh/?q=[redacted]

please if you can after read delete above domain, is a firstname customer.
I don’t think spam, because i try a request ad give me some error.
Thanks!

There are new certificates created evere 1 - 2 hours. 5 certificates created -> the next hits the limit.

Looks like you have activated SSL with that domain, started 2019-01-17.

You should check your Plesk installation and stop that.

Every week one block of 5 certificates (5 pre- and 5 leaf certificates).

And the domain has a lot of CAA entries: Comodo, Digicert, Globalsign, Letsencrypt.

But your server uses a self signed plesk certificate.

Did you ask your hoster (hostinger) what’s going wrong?

So, i can’t understand, because is the only domain with this issue.
Certificate of server is a purchased ssl, but i think mistake. This domain is unused. Only me can access it. Unused from 1 or more month.
I recheck all.
Thanks!

Read the basics.

An ACME-client creates a file in the /.well-known/acme-challenge subdirectory, Letsencrypt checks that file. If the content is correct, a certificate is created -> that produces a Certificate Transparency entry you can check with crt.sh.

So it's your server - or the server is hacked and the certificate is used with another server (requires dns manipulation).

Hi my friends,
i recheck and do not appear error.
Is possible this error because, this night the server was down (power off) for 8/10 hours for maintenenance and hardware change?
Thank you very much!

I think to have found my mistake in certificates. Thanks a lot for your support!

No. There are weekly created certificates, this isn't a problem of one night, it's a permanent problem.
