As of this morning there have been many attempts to hack our store and all these showed up in the log. These attempts tried to access pages like "/admin/config.php", "/phpMyAdmin-2.5.7-pl1/index.php", thinking this is an PHP application of some sort.
From the IP addresses they are from the following areas,
"134.106.62.38", the host is mapserver.uni-oldenburg.de and country is Germany
"203.98.175.190", the host is unknown but the country is HongKong
Note: We are just a small local flower shop in the US, we don't have any business from Germany or HongKong! Has something like this happened to others? And, is there a way to block IP addresses from accessing our store? Or what should we do in this case to protect ourselves?
Thank you and I appreciate any comments on this!
Ray.
