Constant Login Attempts

  • My website utilizes Wordfence which alerts me when a person tries to login and fails too many times. I then will block the IP address from my host’s cPanel interface. My question is, is it normal to have people attempting to login to the /wp-admin page constantly? I get maybe two or three, sometimes more, every other day. I can see they’re trying to use the username of admin, which does not exist. I have seen a few different usernames used, but of course none of them exist. Is there anything I can do to prevent people from trying to login to the website?

  • Yes, it’s “normal” – hackers are constantly trying to get into all websites.

    It’s becoming a job to block the IP addresses. I use a plug-in called Wordfence. When they attempt to login too many times, they got locked out and I get an e-mail with their IP address. I then use their IP address and add them to my host’s IP Deny Manager. This list is getting larger daily. Is there nothing else I can do?
