Hey community! One morning, I checked my MCP server logs and saw hundreds of failed logins overnight. Hundreds!
I hadn’t done anything wrong — it was just bots trying to guess passwords nonstop. They were trying things like “admin123” and “password.” Honestly, it made me laugh at first, but then I realized — if they’re trying this hard, one day they might get lucky.
So I decided to lock things down for real.
I added a tool that blocks anyone who fails too many times. I also stopped using passwords and switched to secret keys instead.
Now, even if someone tries, they’re basically locked out after a few failed attempts.
And yeah, the bots still try every now and then, but they can’t get through anymore.
That was the day I learned something important — hackers don’t sleep, so your security can’t either.
The day I learned that hackers never sleep. Thanks for reading! More awesome blogs are on the way with SightSpeak AI, so stay tuned for what’s next!
