Brute Force Attack….From MY IP???

  • Hi All

    Got a very weird thing going on here, neither me or my technical guy can figure it out. Yesterday I was locked out of my site by a Brute Force attack. Fixed it the usual way – changed security plugin name, unblocked myself, changed name back etc. I updated all my security software including adding specific custom code to Bulletproof, and installed malware security etc. Was able to log out and back in again no trouble.

    This morning, I was locked out once again. Upon inspecting my visitor logs, it would seem that the IP address that makes most of the attempts on my site is my own. Repeated hits from my IP address while I lay sleeping. My internet line is secure.

    I’m using Theme My Login.

    Any ideas anyone? Because we are utterly baffled and pretty annoyed. How is this even possible??

    Thanks in advance!
