Abstract
The present invention provides a computer-implemented method, system, and program product for managing log-in strikes in a geographically distributed computer infrastructure. Specifically, under the present invention, when a strike message is received on a strikeout server pursuant to an incorrect password input during an attempted log-in of a user, the incorrect password is compared to a strike list to determine if it was previously received on the strikeout server during a predetermined period of time. Based on this determination, the incorrect password and will be stored in a list on the strikeout server with a corresponding timestamp. Thereafter, the strike message and the timestamp will be replicated to all other strikeout servers in the infrastructure.
