My site is being bombarded with access attempts every 20 mins or so and has been for the last month.. The WAF has prevented access but I am concerned that the frequency is increasing and may use resources and slow my site down.. It is an automated attack with the same user name but from different random  IP’’s all over the world , so blocking IP’s is not practical. How can I block his ID ?

An access attempt every 20 minutes is far from being bombarded and if you have proof that the WAF is preventing access (how do you know this and what WAF are you referring to ?) then it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.  Adding additional code to CubeCart would be outside the scope (a WAF is designed to do this) and would be considerably slower at doing the same job.  WAFs are used to dealing with hundreds / thousands requests a minute / second so one every 20 minutes isnt even a ripple
