Brute-force attacks from Nokia

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

I checked my email inbox this morning, and guess what I found? The firewall (ConfigServer Security and Firewall) on a server I help run blocked a brute-force attack from Nokia:

IP: 63.97.248.34 (machine34.nokia.com)
Failures: 5 (sshd)
Interval: 135 seconds
Blocked: Yes

Log entries:
