We're continuing to get a trickle of these front door probes from various IP addresses. Our forum software is up to date with its security patches. We are manually blocking bot IP addresses as they present themselves, but that's a reactive measure. We already blacklist IPs, but the package for doing that is oriented to new account registrations, not existing account entries.

All the resources we've consulted suggest this is just something that happens in the e-world, and that as long as you have a decent password your account is fine there is no cause for concern. We're working with some technical folks to see how to be more proactive. We still have no indication that any account has been accessed. The alerts members are receiving are indications that the basic security measures are working.
