What to Look For

Normal Activity

  • Occasional failed logins from your own IP (typos happen)
  • Successful logins at expected times
  • Firewall blocks from random IPs (bots scanning the web)

Concerning Activity

  • Many failed logins from one IP: Possible brute force attack
  • Successful login from unknown IP: Verify it's legitimate
  • Login at unusual hours: Could indicate compromised credentials
  • Repeated firewall blocks from same IP: Persistent attacker

Best Practices

  • Review logs weekly: Spot patterns before they become problems
  • Export monthly: Keep records for compliance or analysis
  • Investigate unknowns: If you see a successful login you don't recognize, change passwords immediately
  • Watch for patterns: Attacks often come in waves from similar IPs or targeting specific usernames
