We had a POP3 attack this morning that looked like this: 08:15 08:43 POP3D UNK: mail.XXXXXXX.XXX - lydia 08:15 08:43 POP3D (0471D5B4) logon failure for kayla mail.XXXXXXX.XXX from 63.201.40.234 08:15 08:43 POP3D UNK: mail.XXXXXXX.XXX - mail 08:15 08:43 POP3D (0471D622) logon failure for lydia mail.XXXXXXX.XXX from 63.201.40.234 08:15 08:43 POP3D UNK: mail.XXXXXXX.XXX - kayla 08:15 08:43 POP3D (0471D68F) logon failure for mail mail.XXXXXXX.XXX from 63.201.40.234 08:15 08:43 POP3D UNK: mail.XXXXXXX.XXX - kent 08:15 08:43 POP3D (0471D6FC) logon failure for kayla mail.XXXXXXX.XXX from 63.201.40.234 08:15 08:43 POP3D UNK: mail.XXXXXXX.XXX - kirk 08:15 08:43 POP3D (0471D76A) logon failure for kent mail.XXXXXXX.XXX from 63.201.40.234
This is just a tiny snippet of the attack, which brought the POP3 service to its knees. Imail 8.22 I haven't been able to find any information about thwarting such an attack -- or even any reports of such attacks occurring for that matter, so I turn to you for your valued input. Obviously, the implications are quite serious.
