 I have been receiving multiple "Automatic IP blocking notification for..." with same timestamp? This has been happening to several of my Joomla sites over the past few days.

I'm not sure how this would be happening, since the IP should be blocked after the first incident?

I have attached screenshots to show some details.

Hello,

I suspect that the attacker send out all the connections at the same time.
You site handled them in parallel and when they get blocked, your database had no records of the ongoing attacks, so the ban is not immediate.
However, you don't have to worry about, since the requests were all blocked and the attacker is already banned, so he can't bother you anymore.
