Question on Severity in Logs

Thank you for using our plugin and for posting on these forums EAC2015.

That event is basically being reported when someone / bot tries to log in using random usernames. When you have a website online this happens all the time and it has no impact or security implications.

It becomes a problem when there are many failed logins of a user that exists on your website. Even then, as such it is not a big problem, but one should keep an eye on these issues and / or install a plugin to limit login attempts.

May I ask why you think this is a higher security risk? I’d like to learn about your use case, maybe there is something we can help you with in a different way.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks. I thought it was a problem that people are trying to get into our site. There are repetitive attempts from certain addresses. Why is it not a problem? Don’t they ever get in eventually? We have good passwords, CDN, 2FA, and security system from our host, but couldn’t someone still get in? I block all of them and in some cases, entire countries.

Login attempts happen all the time and are not a problem, especially if you use strong passwords and 2FA. If you want, you can take it a step further and:

1. Change the URL of the login page
2. Limit login attempts
3. Restrict login page traffic with Geoblocking

I hope the above helps. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Have a great day.

Thank you!
