Brute Force Attack

  • Hello,
    I am currently getting very often these notification mails.
    However, I don’t know how I could avoid these or what I have to do in order to protect my blog better. Can this notification also come from users who want to post a comment?

    Thank you for your help!

    The message is:

    Your website, xy, is undergoing a brute force attack.

    There have been at least 50 failed attempts to log in during the past 120 minutes that used one or more of the following components:

    Component Count Value from Current Attempt
    ———————— —– ——————————–
    Network IP 13 1xx.xxx.xxx*
    Username 37 test
    Password MD5 2 549d6ef2ed830d8b1080dd525a41403a

    The most recent attempt came from the following IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

    The Login Security Solution plugin (0.53.0) for WordPress is repelling the attack by making their login failures take a very long time. This attacker will also be denied access in the event they stumble upon valid credentials.

    Further notifications about this attacker will only be sent if the attack stops for at least 120 minutes and then resumes.
