I have to admit straight out that email servers are not my forte although I’m running one now.
What baffles me is the hacking attempts that take place. I can understand if someone tries to login with “[email protected]” or sales, marketing, etc…
Because those are user names that have a high probability of being used (especially inside a big company or firm).
What’s confusing me is that sometimes it starts logically with trying something like “[email protected]”, however, it then “deteriorates” to random numbers and letters by the same person who’s attempting the hack until they are blocked!
Is it a case of “spray and pray”?! But it didn’t work when they tried the “good” ones, why would it work with total random nonsense?!
Am I missing anything?!
