Issue Multiple Failed Login Attempts via Plesk GUI

Hello,

I've seen many logs like:
[Action Log] Failed login attempt with login 'root' [Action Log] Failed login attempt with login 'admin'

These login attempts are coming through the Plesk GUI. Is there any way to stop this?

Thanks.
 
Enable Fail2ban and make sure plesk-panel is enabled. Make sure to add your IP address to the trusted IP address list so you don't lock yourself out.

I'm using Imunify360, which has disabled Fail2Ban. Should I be worried?
 
Imunify360 does not work with Fail2Ban but I think Imunify360 should has similar feature sets, you just need to look for it (sorry, I'm not familiar with it myself, hopefully someone else here can point you to the settings to enable that option).
