I realise this is not an error with Admintools as it is doing it's job so am after advice really.
We have had over 30,000 failed login attempts in the last 24 hours and I have had to turn the logging and email notifications off as they were filling the logs and my inbox!
I had to temporarily increase the PHP memory size to load the full logs and delete them.

Does anyone have any advice please?

Hello Tim,

can you please take a look at the recorded URL? Is it the frontend or the backend of your site? If they usually happen to the backend, you can try to protect it with an extra password.
