I am getting the following Security Exception for the last few weeks:
Hello, We would like to notify you that a security exception was detected on your site, BMB Technology, with the following details: IP Address: 176.232.238.99 (IP Lookup: IP Lookup) Reason: Admin Query String If this kind of security exception repeats itself, please log in to your site's back-end and add this IP address to your Admin Tools's Web Application Firewall feature in order to completely block the misbehaving user. Best regards, The BMB Technology team
This is my IP!! It happens usually in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep. There is only 1 computer in the house. The logs show that the attack is trying to access the back end /administrator/index.php . Thanks to admin tools I have a security key.
I searched through other tickets and see that this happened to another user. Your reply was something similar to Admin Tools protected you as the attack did not know the extra key needed to get to the login page.
OK but I am dying to know what is causing this? What are some of the possibilities?
