“excessive failed login attempts”
-
I’ve received three emails, two on one of my blogs and one on another – they all show the following:
Subject:
[BlogName] Excessive failed login attempts
From:
wordpress *at* mydomain *dot* com
Date:
Thu, 16 Mar 2006 12:11:32 -0500
To:
my admin emailTo:
my admin email3 failed login attempts from IP: 66.249.28.84 (or IP: 66.249.66.203 or IP: 66.249.21.151)
Last user attempted: .
IP was blocked for ten minutes.
Two of the IPs listed are
OrgName: Name Intelligence, Inc.
OrgID: NAMEI-1
Address: 12806 SE 22nd Place
City: Bellevue
StateProv: WA
PostalCode: 98006
Country: USThe other one is
OrgName: Google Inc.
OrgID: GOGL
Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
City: Mountain View
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94043
Country: USAnyone have any idea what this is? I’m happy the blogs are blocking, but do I need to ramp up security? Any thoughts?
[Edit: wow. I just got twenty more of these on one blog. All from 66.249.28.84. There are no comments being added. Logs show that the login attempt is redirecting to each post beginning with the latest one. Then a few minutes later the next one, etc. I guess I need to add some stuff to .htaccess?]
