I just checked my failed login attempts on my cms and noticed alot of is this google trying to login or is it hackers? any one know anything about this?
update: well i noticed that there is also other failed logins by the same ip 81.177.22.243 also tryed to login with so i assume its a hacker!
Well you can know for sure he is russian. Unless you are expecting visitors from there , just ban his IP range and get it over with Good luck. (Backup your DB just in case)
yea i baned his ip i wish for visitiors from everwhere but never hackers! i wonder if its the same hacker that hacked my other site its on the same hosting account! the other site doesnt have a ban option? how can i ban em from all my sites? or protect them better?
use your .htaccess file to ban them in your other sites. something like: order allow,deny deny from 81.177.22.243 allow from all
oh nyce i will have to look in to that! Thanks for your reply would I just add that to a text file? and label it .htacess and put it in my root folder? or add it to a current .ht in the root of the site i want to protect? if i have more than one ip do i just ad a , or; between the ips? I know nothing about .htacess! Thanks
Yes add it to the top of your current .htaccess file is you have one, if not just make one... if you need to make one you can rename it once it is uploaded if need be. If you get a server error just go back and rename it anything but .htaccess and look for an answer as to why it fails. And yes just keep adding IP's to block: example.. order allow,deny deny from 81.177.22.243 deny from 81.177.22.244 deny from 81.177.22.245 allow from all
