On a windows server 2008 enterprise edition, nothing has changed but recently there are many csrss.exe, LogonUI.exe, svchost.exe and winlogon.exe processes in task manager.
Does it mean some remote sessions are active (server has compromised) or what ?
EDIT:
I checked event logs and it seems someone is trying to logon with Administrator user. It seems an automated tool. How can I defend (block hacker IP...) ?
Here is the log:
