One of my Plugins alerted me to the fact that someone tried to login to my blog. Obviously to create mayhem.
From the inbox:
20 failed login attempts (4 lockout(s)) from IP: 217.41.13.233
Last user attempted: admin
IP was blocked for 24 hours
So, I tracerouted the IP:
C:\>tracert 217.41.13.233

Looks like he’s in the U.K.
Maybe the U.K. liberals do not like this site.
Anyhow, I am onto the guy now and I’ve got his IP, anymore of this nonsense and I will be sending an e-mail to his Internet provider and possibly contacting the FBI in Detroit. Hacking is federal offense.
Good to know that my software and it’s plugin’s are doing their jobs.
