Question

I've noticed, based on the logging of my NAS, that my IP address is targeted by a hacker. I already took action by automaticly ban the IP address permanently after five unsuccesful login attemps.

Unfortunately, the hack is being processed by using multiple different IP adresses, so to me this security attempt is not valid as it only works till the hacker runs out of IP addresses or when he gets the right username/password combination. Which sounds rather tricky to me, and I don't want to wait till one of these two events will happen.

I googled some of the IP adresses which are banned and they show up on several 'hacker' sites as hacker IP adresses. Should I do something and are my worries justified?
