This is the message in Security Exceptions Log reason: ATOOLS_LBL_REASON_SESSIONSHIELD
It happened 3 times only today ... should I be worried?

Nicholas posted this answer in another ticket:
The SessionShield ... deals with a Joomla! issue that was fixed in October 2015. Basically, someone with severely outdated information is trying to use an exploit that is no longer valid to hack your site. He has no chance because Joomla! is already patched (duh!) and Admin Tools catches that anyway. Nothing to worry about, nothing to do about it.
The strange and uninformative message is due to a missing language string.
