So to begin my account is very secure, yet for countless weeks maybe even months, my email address is being brute force attacked on the hourly sometimes more. The attacks are clearly from a VPN because it’s a different country and IP address each time. I’m not really sure what to do about it. Even if I took it to my local police they are notorious for inability to investigate I live in Lincolnshire which is the highest complaints to officer ratio on record in the country. I don’t know coding or anything basically more advanced than pinging an IP in windows and opening command prompt.

I have a strong hunch it is someone I know, I also had a blackmail email several months ago, but I can’t be sure it’s not some random scammer.

Is there anything I could do about this?
