Re: hackers need answer quick

following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

Sounds like it was stopped.

Sounds like something is looking for access and is getting stopped.

If this is a bot knocking on doors, not sure you can stop it from knocking,
but you can stop it from entering.

Hello..
I was just checking the event logs and noticed that I have a lot of
system
events

type date time source category
event user
warning today's date current time msftpsvc none 100
n/a

this started at 5:51 am and I am still seeing the event being logged.

The message reads

The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'news' due to the
following error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. The
data
is the error code.

The accounts that have been tried are
Administrator
Admin
Guest
Test
News

I figure tthis is a hacker, or a robot program tring to gain access to the
server..

Now my question
How do I stop this..
How do I keep it from happening again..
What should I do..


Thanks for your time...
Sammy
