I'm receiving alerts like this:

We would like to notify you that a security exception was detected on your site, MBEA, with the following details:

IP Address: 94.130.141.133 (IP Lookup: IP Lookup)

Reason: Admin IP Whitelist

The IP addresses are not in the whitelist, nor should they be.

Can you enlighten me?

Thanks

That means that someone whose IP address is not in your white list tried to access your back end login page. Their attempt was blocked by Admin Tools.
