Some clown has been trying to hack into one of my wp sites all day. Luckily, I have several security plugins installed. If you run a WP site, you might want to consider getting the following plugin:

Limit Login Attempts
WordPress › Limit Login Attempts

It’s brilliant. The would be hacker keeps trying to hack into my site via different IP addresses, and the plugin keeps banning the IP addresses of all the failed login attempts.

Thats a lot of attempts!

If thats what has come in today, it looks like he is using a script, and is trying to brute force his way into your admin, and running the script through proxies(hence the number of diff IPs).

Wouldn’t surprise me if the idiot is doing this to multiple blogs.
