    Site possibly under attack again.

    Hey guys, I visited my error log today as I usually do every log-in and I noticed repeated messages like this within a few seconds. When I do a look-up on this IP in WHOIS, it comes up to eCommerce web hosting. What do you guys suggest I do, as I've already blocked them via cPanel. They have used the useragent I believe of MSNbot.

    Nobody is really attacking you, you just has some illegal characters in a query string. 'attacker' is defined as the IP trying to make the request in Suhosin.

    I wouldn't really worry about it.
    Thanks,
