If he authenticated, he must have guessed, or knows, one of the passwords
for one of your users. I'd do 2 things, 1: notify the user who's accounts
been compromised, and tell them about - B: you changed the password to the
account. See if that stops the access. Now if it happens again, maybe the
user is the cause..........

I saw that on one of our accounts and promptly changed it. You'ld be
surprised the # of people that use password as the password. WHEN WILL THEY
LEARN??????
