MFA prevents this. I am at work right now and was just doing an audit. (Hanging out here while I wait for some results). See attachment: this happens all day every day constantly. These are bots trying to compromise our accounts....

In an entirely different scene, I look at Wordfence reports on my Wordpress sites.
Those bots are relentless and legion. It is quite illustrative.
I pay for blocking all IPs from outside the USA on one site, and WordFence helps greatly.
Of course, many are via VPNs with US IPs, so they still register.
But very few come through.
