WF detecting a LOT of people trying to access my site with reset pass
-
Hello. Since last night, I have noticed a lot of alerts from Worfence by people/bots trying to use the reset password, an being blocked.
Should I be concerned?
For a moment I thought to set the firewall at HIGH but it says that could interfere withe my visitors, how could interfere? I mean, I choose lockdown, what does this affects on usability?Please bear my English.
For now, I’m using a tip I found in and old Worfecnce ticket here, and using
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^xxx\.xxx\.xxx\.xxx$
RewriteRule ^wp-(login|register)\.php https://example.com [R,L]
in my htaccess. Hope that helps. Block coutries can’t help this time (I used to have certain countries trying to hack my site, but know the ips are from countries that my site cannot afford to lose cause they are the target of my audience)Should I worry to much? First of all, WF is doing it’s job, that’s excellet: it’s blocking them. But I’m afraid. I don’t know much about code and security, and I have been hacked in April wich prompt me to buy Worfence and change the theme (mine was obsolete).
Any tip, guide, plugin you could sugges, will be MUCH appreaciated.
Please forgive my English, I do the best I can to explain.
