Someone is trying to hack my website

[mattyg]

Hi

Ok so yesterday I started getting emails saying "Alex" A request to reset your password has been made at " My Domain"

I have no Idea who alex is.

I've just tried to reset an admin password to check the email layout and its exact.

So it looks like Alex is trying to get access to my website.

Its a website I dont currently use for my business as its out of date and I don't need to advertise that business. I want to change it to just 1 page at some point, But I digress.


Whats the easiest way to stop Alex from taking down my website.

Hmmm.

I've logged into my site and found a user ALEX. But they've been on the system for 7yrs 2 weeks. So I'm going to assume its possibly someone from the firm that built/updated the site originally.

I'll just delete the user

They appear to be from sweden

I had 5-6 attempts over 2-3 days. Thats what got me worried.

But I've had none since changing the username. So hopefully all good but I'll be monitoring it
