Multiple attempts to hack into my website's admin area. Due to the amount of time between attempts and different urls entered to attempt the hack, this one appears to have been attempted manually, unlike most attacks that appear to be launched through software(several attempts per minute using the same url)
We had this one as well, attempting to get into our Joomla site (version 2.5.9). The following variations were used: 94.242.237.73 94.242.237.96 94.242.237.115 94.242.237.119 It doesn't appear that this hacker was successful, but we had attempts from 146.0.79.23 at the same time; that one was able to put up a couple files when we received notification that there were suspicious files on this site.
Please help us keep Internet safer and cleaner by leaving a descriptive comment about 94.242.237.73 IP address

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
