    I can’t access my wp-admin.php for my site. This is because of a brute force attack underway. My service provider suggests that there may be a WordPress plugin for this. Is there any such plugin which can be installed during a brute force attack which will effectively disable that attack?
    Thanks for your help.

    Many thanks for your reply. My host assures me that it’s very much a Brute Force attack in progress (now going on more than 72 hours) and that there’s nothing I can do but wait it out. So it seems there’s nothing I can install now while under sttack via FTP to make any difference. Once it’s over I’ll be looking for plugins to prevent any future such attacks.
    Regards.
