Since I've updated to 3.7.1 and AT 4.2.0 I get continuous attacks of potential hackers with the following features:

TYPE: SQLi Shield
DESC: http: //xxxxx.xx/index.php? Option = com_fields & view = fields & layout = modal & ... (.. )

Is it possible that someone found a bug on the component and is trying to exploit it? And, more important, am I protected?
Do I need to block all IPs that are attempting these attacks?
Thank you and best regards
Mario

Joomla! 3.7.0 had a major SQL injection vulnerability, fixed in 3.7.1. As soon as hackers found out they started bombarding sites with attempts to exploit it. Fear not, Admin Tools is protecting you. What you see is Admin Tools fending off the pathetic attacks of these lowlifes to attack your site. This is NORMAL. It's supposed to protect you. That's why you bought a subscription to Admin Tools Professional :)
