'Test' username/determined

Author: I.Anderson2 (23 Aug 14 1:45am)

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any info about a spammer who is trying to log in to my website hundreds of times, trying the username 'test', each time from a different IP address?

I have 'limit login' plugin installed and I had to change the report emails settings because this guy is really determined!

Just wondered if anyone else was following this guy/machine.
Cheers
Ian

Of course without some sample IP addresses it is hard to tell sense the HP database is by IP

My first guess would be that a spammer or a kid got a new toy and is testing it i.e. "test"
