    I am new to wordfence and ever since I installed it I am getting messages as below:-
    A user with IP address 54.153.81.58 has been locked out from the signing in or using the password recovery form for the following reason: Used an invalid username ‘admin’ to try to sign in.
    User IP: 54.153.81.58
    User hostname: ec2-54-153-81-58.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
    User location: San Jose, United States

    In this case the user location was San Jose, but others from a similar amazonaws.com address include Boardman, Ashburn, Seattle, LA, Wilminton and also Dublin & Frankfurt.

    I assume amazonaws means Amazon web services – why am I getting these?
    I don’t know if they are a prospective customer or not. my website is reelpleasure.net

  • Same question here.

    We have a lot of complaints about bad login attempts from amazonaws.com. It will be nice when AmazonAWS starts to see this and begins to deal with the bad traffic there.

    For now,, on the advanced blocking page block *amazonaws.com* in the domain section. This should take care of the traffic from there. Lett us know if it does not.

    Hi,

    This is all very well but this does not remove the hits of this nuisance from showing amazonaws which takes up a ton of space so you have to scroll for ages to view other hits?
