Are you sure it's not via port 25?
Are they all via the same ISP range?

Hi all,

I read a thread here a few days ago regarding a possible hacking attempt. The user trying to logon was 'webmaster', quite a commom hacker logon. I've just received 3 daily server performance reports from 3 different sites all reporting the same issue. The most concerning of these reports is that I have RWW (and OWA) locked down to certain ISP IP ranges or from my own IP only. One system even has a double authentication component. I find it strange that all of these servers got hit by a hacker at the same time (2355 hrs). No systems have been compromised but it seems a bit of a coincidence that a 'hacker' tried all 3 of my installations at the same time. Has anyone else had this behaviour or am I just unlucky that Mr Hacker decided to pick on me and 3 of my clients only last night ?

Regards Colin.
