 * I am new to wordfence and ever since I installed it I am getting messages as 
   below:-
    A user with IP address 54.153.81.58 has been locked out from the signing
   in or using the password recovery form for the following reason: Used an invalid
   username ‘admin’ to try to sign in. User IP: 54.153.81.58 User hostname: ec2-
   54-153-81-58.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com User location: San Jose, United 
   States
 * In this case the user location was San Jose, but others from a similar amazonaws.
   com address include Boardman, Ashburn, Seattle, LA, Wilminton and also Dublin&
   Frankfurt.
 * I assume amazonaws means Amazon web services – why am I getting these?
    I don’t
   know if they are a prospective customer or not. my website is reelpleasure.net

 * We have a lot of complaints about bad login attempts from amazonaws.com. It will
   be nice when AmazonAWS starts to see this and begins to deal with the bad traffic
   there.
 * For now,, on the advanced blocking page block **\*amazonaws.com\*** in the domain
   section. This should take care of the traffic from there. Lett us know if it 
   does not.

 * Hi,
 * This is all very well but this does not remove the hits of this nuisance from
   showing amazonaws which takes up a ton of space so you have to scroll for ages
   to view other hits?
