Works, sort of

  • Same here. Wordfence shows that I’m still getting many login attempts. For some reason one of my sites is being aggressively hit by these from Russia and The Ukraine (to be fair – the URL used to belong to a porn site, but that was over 10 years ago).

    It’s a bot, trying the same (non-existent) usernames over and over. Is there anything we can do about this?

    I don’t think your url is what is attracting them. They go for jst about any website, once they see it’s a wp site.
    Attacks reduced since I changed the url, wordfence having less troubles now

    Well it’s not the only WP site I run, and it gets about 10 times the amount of suspicious traffic as any of the others, so there is some factor setting it apart from the others.

    I’ll venture to say that since it’s been mostly bots attacking my site all along, this plugin hasn’t improved the situation which caused me to seek it out much at all.
