Location error in lock email !

[cstjo 0]

Hi

Automated email sent by website after 3 unsuccessful login due to bad pass, includes a location (We have detected 3 failed log in attempts to your account from Atlanta, Georgia, 30302, United States.) completely wrong. I'm in France with a local IP from a local ISP (82.66.231.xxx).

Not sure if it's best section for that but feel free to move it where appropriate

 

Thanks

That message is saying that someone from that location tried and failed to log in to your server.

It is not saying that your server is in that location.

Thanks @roakubut yeah I had well understood the message so my message as the location is wrong ! the login attempt have been done from France so it should not report it as Atlanta

Hi.  So you are positive you know the origin of the incorrect logins?  Were they possibly done through a VPN?

The location is just derived from the IP address and may or may not be accurate but it isn't us that is providing that.
