Hello
I received a mail (via Admin Tools) notification reporting "We would like to notify you that a security exception was detected on your site". I'll put the rest of the text in attachment, because if I'll put in a quote, it triggers your site security.
Apparently it seems that someone "spoofed" his IP with some strange sort of code, to attempt an hack on my website, and if I didn't misunderstand, it's similar to this user's ( https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/admin-tools/Ticket/29325-security-exception-log-error-ip-address.html ) problem.
I can't view his attachment, so I just want to know if it is not possible to "blacklist" this type of attack.
Thanks

Salve,

purtroppo in questo caso non è possibile bannare l'IP perchè è stato modificato per inviare del codice malevolo.
Ad ogni modo non si deve preoccupare, perchè la vulnerabilità che l'attaccante sta cercando di sfruttare riguarda versioni molto vecchie di Joomla (3.4 e precedenti); inoltre Admin Tools è in grado di bloccarle, anche se non è possibile bandire l'IP dell'attaccante.
