I get about 50 exception notifications per day of different IPs attempting to login to THE SAME user and password which are completely bogus. How can I block these? Since they are different IPs so the exceptions per minute feature won't notice that. And since the Security Exceptions log doesn't have a way to select many and click once to put on black list (which would be nice.) I would have to spend time clicking on all these each day.

Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Hello Paul,

you can safely ignore those kind of attacks: they are automated, most likely people trying to use some leaked username and passwords.
If you want to be 100% sure, you should protect sensitive accounts (managers, administrators and super administrators) using the two factor authentication. In this way an attacker won't be able to login even if he guessed the right username and password, since he will have to own your phone, too.
