    Hello :)

    Internal case number 107785 is open to address the "Duplicate logaccess" error in the cPanel error log during certain failed login attempts. However, this message itself should not result in higher loads or memory usage on your system. You may want to implement a third-party firewall management utility such as CSF to help block those types of brute force attempts.

    Thank you.

    Hello Michael,

    Thanks for the tip...

    I made some adjustments in CSF and now seems to work well

    :eek:
