The log is in my opinion incomplete, the login form and intrusion protection along with the log is implemented in the wrong sequence. The input form for the admin password does continue to work, and the log entry is created regardless if it's blocked or not. It's an old old bug, nothing new - same "feature" on other products. Even if you enter the correct password, the same remote login failure would be shown. Several NAS vendors had it the same way round by the way.
What is also missing is the ability to put up firewall rules triggered by such abuse attempts.
Last but not least, you should contact the abuse desk for the ip address block - Whois IP 89.144.47.8 -> abuse@ghostnet.de and report. This could be suspicious activity (certainly not allowed), or there is some process or application up there which does call to an user which had your home Internet connection public IP address assigned before.
Sorry for the confusion. What I posted was towards Cloud-based Insight login, not the local login attempts on the router itself.
We will look into this "Remote Login Failure" case in the local logs you posted. Thank you.
scottdrynan It seems like you have enabled "Remote Management" in the SRK60 local web GUI. In that page, you should be able to block IP by only allowing a specific computer or an IP range.

Afraid to chime in again - that's an other unreal minimalistic consumer remote management restriction from 1995 (and and years before by the then young ZyXEL in the young Internet times, sorry saying. How many users have a fixed single IP (or a public subnet) from where they want to remote manage a device? How does this fit to the mobile admin who want to do remote management 24*365 from where ever he is, on different devices?
Every average "pro" router for the better SOHO or smaller SMB device needs features like a fully configurable firewall in general, with rules for WAN->[V]LAN[1..4], WAN->Device, [V]LAN[1|2|3|4]<->[V]LAN[1|2|3|4] ... and so on (not a crazy LAN->Internet service block - another 1995 consumer router feature). Decent firewalls allow country-, region-, continent- source based firewalls, especially for exposed services.
Needless to say, optional add-on security like an authentication certificate (by user account) - this requires installing it on the client devices for https or ssh access. But wait. before we need support for certificates on the https and ssh, means local generation of a CSR, the ability to import certificates, or user friendly automated certificates like Let's Encrypt, ....
Welcome to the year 2021 my friend.

Same here - also the cloud login must block by IP and username, not killing the real user if an acount or the cloud authentication system is under attack.
