Brute protect knocked down the website

  • Hi guys,

    I’m using brute protect plugin on several of my clients websites and until now it worked flawless.

    Last night I had a problem while one website was probably under attack and the plugin prevented over 12000 attacks.

    Now, the problem occurred while the plugin was logging all these attacks and comparing the usernames with the existing ones and logged all that in wp_options table until the table had so many rows that it couldn’t handle it anymore and the website was down and I didnt get a notification that the website was down.

    How can this be fixed as I really do not want to change the security plugin?

    Thanks
