Mandatory information about my setup:
Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yep
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yep
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yep
Joomla! version: 1.5 (I know, upgrade is underway)
PHP version: 5.2.17 (newer version with new joomla)
MySQL version: 5.6.12
Host: www.koduhaldus.ee
Admin Tools version: 2.2.10 Pro.

Description of my issue:
AdminTools sent me a warning - IP Address: 2a00:1ca8:4e::149 (IP Lookup: http://ip-lookup.net/index.php?ip=2a00:1ca8:4e::149)
Reason: Login failure (Username: admin -- Password: 123456)

That is obviously not the correct addfress but somehow masked. Is there a way to block this from acćessing altogether or should I just wait it out until the bot goes out of preconfigured passwords? What is that IP address and how could it be named (to google more about it).

Thank you if you have a sec to drop me a line on this. It really is not a version specific problem, but rather a generic one, how to behave in the future when this type of attack occurs.

I feel quite stupid now - it is obviously an IPv6 address. I guess I panicked when the exceptions started coming in. I will accept if that old version of software this particular server is still using, cannot deal with ipv6 address space. It seems the IP-blocking is not working with that address. But now that I know what it is, I will monitor the situation for a day.

I hope this post will be helpful for those DIY-webmasters who have not seen an ipv6 address bedore :)

I'm glad you figured it out. The IP6 addresses are not yet supported in the Admin Tools blacklist. Support will be added as the addresses become more fully supprted by commercial hosts.
