========================================
Description of my issue:
As of a couple of days ago, all my sites have been subject to continuous SQL injection attacks etc. etc. ADT has successfully blocked them (thanks!).
However - in all the sites that I have WAF enabled/tightened, I can no longer edit a user from the Joomla Admin back end without getting a 403 "Access Denied" page.
I'm trying to edit all my super-admin usernames so that none of them are just the default "Admin" (which is one of the users the hackers immediately go for).
As these attacks are on-going, I don't want to disable/uninstall ADT for even a short while to see whether it's that that's causing the user-edit error. BTW - the same happens on a couple of my j1.5 sites as well.
Is this a Joomla problem or something in ADT?
Thanks,
Adam.
