Two usernames targeted repeatedly for the last 3 days. Should I be worried?

  • Hello,

    Two usernames of my website have been repeatedly targeted over the last 2-3 days, with IPs ranging from Peru to Vietnam.

    This is causing constant lockouts of the usernames. As long as the ban is lifted, it only takes 2-3 mins for the bots to cause a new lockdown. I know how to overcome this by whitelisting my IP, even though it is inconvenient since I might want to access my account from other IPs myself.

    My question here is: should I be worried about these attacks, or are they an everyday phenomenon? If they keep on scanning and trying passwords, won’t they get to it eventually?

    Are there any actions to be taken to increase my safety?

    thanks
