Hi

I'm seeing IP addresses like the attached (contains sql)

I've had 4 like this in the last two days(not all quite the same but similar) - should I be alarmed or doing anything?
Normally it's just IP addresses but above is different so a bit nervous especially as my knowledge is limited

Thanks
Paul

Hello,

you can safely ignore it.
That attack is effective only versus very old installation of Joomla (3.4.5 and lower), since you have the latest available version, you're safe.
Moreover Admin Tools is stopping these attacks, so you are extra protected!

Thanks Davide,

I thought that would be the case and was really hoping this was the case :)

We are seeing lots of attempts at the moment

We are a little concerned still as the i/o on the account jumped to 99% at around the same time but that has now dropped to 0%

Cheers

That's the normal behavior: they usually try some old, known exploits; if they don't work, they simply move to the next one.

Thanks for your help :)
