Thanks for the info.

So we are talking about an illegal hack attempt? I assume malevolence, but is it dangerous? If so, what can the attack achieve for the hackers? Given that this is a common and potentially widespread issue the attack is probably automated.

My security keys are strong, but I guess I ought to change them more often.

It's popped up again this morning, but this time with a variation in source IP.
