Lots of login attempts

Gardener Mon, 04/02/2018 - 08:59

Someone is trying to login on different accounts and failing on all.  They attempted to change the password on my test account and failed.  This was just in the past few hours and it looks like they gave up and are no longer online.  The site logs everthing.

They started getting through the Humpty Dumpty question so I changed it.  I only made it worse by making the question "What color is an orange?".  They really were getting through after that.  All were Russian email addresses.  RUSSIA DID IT!, lol.

So I made it "What great lake is next to Chicago?" and it's been over a week and none got through.  If they ever do I'll just make another geography question.

I'll take a screen shot of the log.  It was bizarre.  I deleted my test account.  The only reason I looked at the log is because I got an email for a change password request.  But that was the only account they tried it on.

Got two more, but they're old. Had gone under the radar about a year ago.

Turns out you can find them by searching for "jersey." and sifting through all the references to New Jersey.
