Failed log in attempts

  • Hello,

    It looks like from the emails I am getting that someone (from a different IP address each time) is attempting to login to my website with my username and keeps getting logged out due to failed password attempts. These are not me doing this. I am glad the security system is able to keep them from making multiple attempts, but is there anything I can do to keep them from trying to hack in to my website? Thanks!

    Yesss you can ! Sorry, could not resist ??

    It seems your site is leaking usernames which makes it an interesting target.
    Basically your site is not properly protected. Or in your terminology, it’s not fit ??
    Using part of the site domain name as a user is not helping either …

    I have the same problem. I have several attempts logged with every username that exists within my website. The usernames are just the first names of the people who have an account, but those names are nowhere to be found on the website itself. How can I prevent from leaking the usernames since I just created new ones for everyone in the hope they won’t be banned again.
