Hello,

I am receiving security exception email every hour since yesterday and the reason is Admin Query String.
When I checked the IP addresses these attacks are not coming from same IP , but it it belongs to same host with different IP addresses as mentioned below.
Host: ec2-35-167-154-190.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Host: ec2-52-11-54-22.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Could you please tell me how to block this kind of attacks, if the attacker is using different IP addresses?

Best Regards

If you have a security exception, the attempt is already blocked. You don't need to do anything more.

You can't stop them from trying, you can only stop them from succeeding.
