I start getting these kind of messages on one of my websites:
Reason: Login failure (Username: darwinbaillieu8 -- Password: FiHcp0rLSDj)

Different user names and passwords.

What does it mean? What should I do?

Thanks!

Hello Britt,

you can safely ignore them.
They are trying to brute force the password for the user darwinbaillieu8. If you setup Admin Tools to threat invalid logins as security exceptions, you'll automatically ban them after too many attempts.
