Windows 10: I am being brute forced attacked.

I am being brute force attacked from all over the world from all these people. Note: I may have had malware on my computer before I reset it, so that is maybe the reason for the brute force. All over the world, people are trying to get access to my account. I need help asap! I have already done password-less, etc.

How is the Windows 10 Hello password protected against Brute-Force, Dictionary or Hybrid attacks?

I have a Surface Pro 6 with Windows 10 with Windows Hello Face Recognition. Instead of Face Recognition, Windows Hello also accepts a password (thus no 2FA). The harddrive is encrypted with VeraCrypt.

Assume Windows is running but locked (and VeraCrypt is unlocked). An attacker steels the laptop. How is the attacker prevented from accessing Windows via a Brute-Force, Dictionary or Hybrid attack?

 

Getting Brute Force Attacks on MS SQL Server, Urgent Help Needed

Hi,

We have a Dedicated Godaddy Server running Windows Server 2012 accessible through remote desktop. We are getting a lot of IP brute force attacks on the server with these error codes:

Event ID: 4625, Audit Failure

Event ID: 10016,_DISTRIBUTEDCOM

These errors are getting repeated almost every second. The MS SQL is now using over 50% in CPU and RAM and the server is responding very slow.

How do I resolve this.

Please help.
