An easy way to check if the attack is legitimate is to copy the IP address from the lockout notification, and go to . Enter in the IP address to see if you recognize the location. If the location is not somewhere you recognize and you have received several failed login attempts, then you are likely being attacked. You might notice dozens or hundreds of IPs each day.

In the premium version, users have access to enhanced logs which will show the country of origin without having to conduct additional research.
