In the past 2 weeks there have been over 14,000 fake login attempts made from China IP addresses as well as a few hundred from Russia, Ukraine, and Romania.

The few hundred don’t bother me too much but 14,000 attempts is a bit too much for me to wrap my head around.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Does anyone here block entire countries from accessing your site?

My site is small but growing. I don’t want to alienate potential customers or lose valuable affiliates at a time when every sale counts. To date I have not had a single sale come from China or Russia and wouldn’t consider blocking countries like Canada, UK, Netherlands, or Germany where surfers actually buy.
