    I’m getting the following email message periodically

    Any clues what this is?

    [http://lasalleyachtclub.com] Site Lockout Notification
    From LaSalle Yacht Club JGravesNBS@aol.comhide details
    To JGravesNBS JGravesNBS@aol.com

    A lockdown event has occurred due to too many failed login attempts or invalid
    username:
    Username: admin
    IP Address: 142.4.211.151

    IP Range: 142.4.211.*

    Log into your site’s WordPress administration panel to see the duration of the
    lockout or to unlock the user.

    Consult the documentation for the All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin for more information.

    I think you tried to enter admin panel several times and you failed with wrong username or password. and it automatically blocked your IP from entering it to protect your site from hackers. This lock usually will be unlocked in a fixed period for example after 1 hour or so. But for making sure, please consult with the developer of security plugin you are using or wait and try it for example 1 hour later.

    The IP address you mention, 142.4.211.151, has been attacking one of my sites continually (it tries to log in with username “admin”). I use the Wordfence plugin to block that IP address. I highly recommend using some kind of security plugin. You’ll be amazed at the constant barrage of WordPress attacks that are going on.

    Thanks,
