Hi guys,
I have a automated email coming from Direct Admin saying this:
+++++++
A new message or response with subject:
Brute-Force Attack detected in service log from IP(s) 127.0.0.1
has arrived for you to view.
Follow this link to view it:
+++++++
I usually go to my Firewall and just blacklist the IP that is causing the problem, but I can't ban the 127.0.0.1 because it's usually used by servers.
Is this something I should try and fix? Should I be concerned about this (if it is infact a Brute-Force Attack)? Or can I just leave it?
Sorry if this is a silly question, it's just that I'm not sure what to do. I'm not very good at all this IT stuff, sorry...
Any info or tip would be good, thanks...
Kind regards
