Epic Fail of the Day
Here is an alert I got just a few minutes ago that made me chuckle.
To whoever tried to hack my “administrador” account: Brute forcing for a password won’t work unless you know how to spell “administrator”. Once you learn to spell, also learn that linux servers doesn’t have an “administrator” account to begin with.

Hi Matt, I don’t know of any reason why anybody would target me specifically, so I’m assuming it’s a bot just hitting random IPs. Still, they are wasting their time if they can’t spell. I also have had FTP brute force attacks on most of my servers including my home server. They, to are all Linux boxes and they all try to hack the administrator account (usually spelled correctly at least)
