No admin know more than 30 days.
read this again
I don't want to make older IP logs automatically accessible because that'd give a hacker a bunch of useful/sensitive information. But 30 days is probably not too harmful.
How long are records kept for my first log IP address? I remember reading somewhere that it is kept for a long time.
I remember admin has verified some hacked accounts back to 2013.
Exception: if you click on a "ping link" as part of a manual account recovery process, the IP log created by this action has possibly-indefinite retention.
How can I do that?
