Hmm, brute force attack. Well, at least it's not as embarrassing as getting locked out because you forgot your password. *chuckles*

Brute force attack all the way. Trying to guess login credentials repeatedly until one works - that's the obvious answer here.

A ping attack? Really? That's not going to cause account lockouts. SYN attack is just plain wrong. This has to be the brute force attack.

I was thinking spoofing at first, but that wouldn't really explain the account lockouts. Gotta be the brute force attack option.

Yeah, that makes sense. Too many incorrect log on attempts would trigger the account lockouts.

Brute force attack sounds like the most likely culprit here. Users are getting locked out due to multiple incorrect login attempts, which is a classic sign of a brute force attack.

But could it also be a SYN attack causing the lockouts?

I agree with Cassandra, brute force attacks can lead to multiple incorrect log on attempts.
