    Hi I’m getting a brute force attack on my test site. WordFence is alerting me of all the login attempts. They seem to be failing for now and the password is very strong.

    Should I just leave it or take some kind of action?

    I have put the site in lockdown mode via wp-firewall, which seems to of stopped it.

    EDIT: Okay maybe not….

    This has nothing to do with Alpha/Beta. Moved out.

    Okay,

    Just I run quite a few websites (non WP) seems you guys are the easiest target. It’s a bit odd to happen on a week old test site Most of the IP’s were Chinese. WP sites are to easy to find (dork) hence all the attacks on high ranking sites IMO.

    I’m preferring v4.1 though but think you guys should implement security measures as standard rather than leaving it to plugin DEV’s.

    I resolved the issues myself anyway. Fire with Fire.
