Soft brute force attack – 20 attempts per day

In the logs I get some 10/20 brute force attempts per day, with the same username pattern:

– admin
– <domain-name>admin
– <domain-name>

It’s like a bot (or a bot network) the slowly attempts to force the password somehow.

IPs change each time, however some of them are part of the same network.

Looks like the BOT(net?) changes each time the IP, to make it difficult to spot the origin.

The password is a 24 characters randomly generated with mixed lower/uppercase, numbers and special chars. Pretty tough.

Thoughts?
