 * Hi,
 * I receive about 80-100 lockout notifications since monday (14/11/06). All the
   notifications contains different IPs and a username Admin.
    This is a bug or 
   someone try to hack my site or this is another problem with my site?

 * Hi,
 * C S is correct. You’re under a brute force attack and they’re using the username
   admin.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
