This was an upsetting experience, but like vshukla, the attacks from Russia have subsided.
How do you go about getting less frequent emails in Wordfence? Where is this setting?
And no, the attackers were using admin, administor or the name of my website and did not have my user name thank God. wordpress does not allow you to change your user name, however I found you can do this via a plug-in, so that advice really was not that useful.
I too, wish to find out WHAT DO YOU DO? I selected LEVEL 4 LOCKDOWN in security level but can tell you this did absolutely NOTHING to lessen the amount of emails — I as getting 4 a minute at one point. Yes, you can delete the emails, but it’s about having a sense of security – wordfence does INDEED need to add the feature to move the wp-login page to something else like Scuri (or whatever) does. When you are under full frontal attack like that, there must be SOMETHING you can do rather than just ride out the storm!!!!
I agree to dodo12 – please tell us – although Wordfence is BLOCKING the users, there must be a setting that is for these brute force attacks — if there isn’t, we should probably look for a better plug in that does !!
Anybody on this site familar with K News and if it can email subscribers when a new post has been posted to the blog? I have version 1.7.5. and am running the latest Avada theme if that matters.
