[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1821823, member: 318059"] Interesting and just some wild guesses... Did you restrict your account access to your IP address of 125.167.99.231? If not... The hosting company's firework and/or your forum settings blocks IP addresses, after five invalid login attempt. As for why people keep trying to use your account, well... There had been so many account databases exposed, I am pretty certain that everyone has a few account stolen here and there during the last ten years or so. You've changed your password and the firewall/your setting did what it suppose to. I wouldn't worry about it... I run couple of WordPress site and get notification for blocked hosts/IPs. I only worry, when there are 40-50 of them; it's an early indication that a WordPress security patch release is imminent... [/QUOTE]
