Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.6
PHP version: 5.3.14
MySQL version: 5.0.95-community-log
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: 2.3.1

Description of my issue:
I have received about 30 e-mail messages as Security Exception. 99% are fro China, and reason is Login failure. All times it is from 2 different IP-s. Passwords was always same and user name was different (random). I put that IP-s to black list in WAF, but again I receive Security Exception e-mails from that IP-s.

Is that correct?

Thanks.
