More info: on my box there is *only* VB without any hacks. My site is about politics and, frankly, I expected this kind of behavior from people that don't agree with some topics. In that case, is it enough to ban them from VB control panel ?

Update:
There are many IPs.... as much as 20. These people are professionals.

I don't think blocking them with .htaccess is that difficult. Try something like:

Code:

deny from [their ip here]

in that .htaccess file.

Secondly, yes, it is a hacking attempt, but obviously not much of a good one, and a bit strange that they never tried breaking into the install directory. Try blocking access from those directories in future (install directory and directory where you installed impex).
