We had to add another country to the list of blocked access points to our server.
All day long we usually get a few security alerts about attempts at getting into to the server and, for the most part, we can ignore them because the IP address is automatically temporarily blocked after several attempts. In some cases though we get hit with dozens, and on occasion, hundreds, of different IP addresses from the same country or we see attempts from the same country on a nearly continuous basis from different IP addresses over the course of a few days. When that happens we are left with no choice but to block the country IP address range from reaching our server.
For those curious, here's the current list of blocked countries.
AR = ARGENTINA
CN = CHINA
EG = EGYPT
IN = INDIA
IR = IRAN, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF
PK = PAKISTAN
PS = PALESTINIAN TERRITORY, OCCUPIED
RU = RUSSIAN FEDERATION
UA = UKRAINE
TW = TAIWAN
