    also when using a password dont use a normal word !
    use a pw generator ! they are much harder to brute force than a lame dictionary word/phrase

    z8p3u9%#T~zkUTv is alot better then casinosite

    and IP 195.190.13.158 from Ukraine rents servers by the week

    also if a ip keeps trying to get in why not turn the light bulb on and server/host ban them ?

    After 2 hacking experiences of last week I installed a plugin that shows me when someone tries to access my worpress site as ‘admin’

    What is the name of the plugin that you’re using for this?

    One plugin that does that is ‘wordfence’

    It’s also interesting to see ‘human’ traffic.
    Be sure to review the options for settings tweaks if you want to use it.

    PS – Another blocked IP 5.39.218.135 Netherlands

    few siomple things.. make sure your cpanel or server side is an insanely large password thats all gibberish. There are items for cpanel to blacklist / whitelist all access to this as well.

    Second, if your using wordpress or any other “standard” system know there are thousands of people that know what is in your folders, admicp folder should be LOCKED at the server level, IE you should need to enter a username and password setup in yout .htaccess before you cna log into the admincp, and you should really not use the directory admicp at all, rename it to something like skoobydooadmin/ and still lock it down.

    I have this link bookmarked for whenever I need a new password:
    Security Guide for Windows – Random Password Generator

    Tick the ‘Include Punctuation’ box and you’re extra safe.

    I think you need to change administrator user name. I would suggest you to use “Better WP Security” plugin and configure it manually. It works fine for me.
