Silly Chinese hacker obsessed with numbers

The Chinese obsess with numbers, and that’s a well-known fact. Anything from “123” to “888” has a special meaning to the Asian nation of 1.3 billion.

This all turns to silliness, however, when a wannabe hacker from China attempted to log into our server:

IP:       125.76.206.81 (CN/China/81.206.76.125.broad.xa.sn.dynamic.163data.com.cn)
Failures: 1 (ftpd)
Blocked:  Yes
[WARNING] Authentication failed for user [domaingang888]

As “888” signifies luck, it was definitely not a lucky day for our silly friend who was instantly blocked. We also report such attempts to the respective ISP.
