I'm seeing this on one of our servers:

2018-12-24 17:56:47 3109 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'23.225.204.24' (using password: YES)
2018-12-24 17:56:48 3114 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'23.225.204.24' (using password: YES)

2018-12-24 17:56:53 3128 [Warning] Access denied for user 'root'@'23.225.204.24' (using password: YES)

I assume that is someone trying to hack the server.

Can MySQL attacks also be monitored via imunify360 and blocked?

Thanks

Hello,
unfortunately, Imunify360 cannot block brute-force attacks coming to MySQL out of the box. We plan to add support for this later, in 2019.

At the moment you could use fail2ban utility to block brute-force attacks against MySQL. Please, read the following article.

Do you need an external connection to your MySQL database? We would also recommend to keep it for local connections only.
