Today I found on my Dashboard of my QNAP server version Version 4.8.8.0 four failed login attempts from three different IP addresses which iplocation.net placed into Singapore and listed the ISP as "Amazon Data Services Singapore" this is what one of the entries looks like.

Failed Login Attempt from admin'-- on QNAP-NAS
54.151.223.193
8/5/2024, 1:09:25 PM

Since I don't have a user called admin, it looks to me like that this was an attempt to get into my Emby Server. Since there are no entries in the log of the QNAP NAS listing these IP addresses, it looks like that this was just an attempt on the Emby server.

There are a few questions that I have. Have I drawn the right conclusion that this was just an attempt on the Emby server since there is nothing in the QNAP security logs? Furthermore is there anything that I can or need to do to protect myself from these attempts to gain entry into my Emby server? I have 5 Users that I have allowed access to the Emby server but 4 have not logged in for several months. Only one user has successfully authenticated on 8/5/2024 about 20 minutes before and again 2 minutes after the failed login attempts.

Thanks for any suggestions on how to handle these failed login attempts.
