Site lockout warnings

    Over the past week I have received site lockout notifications due to too many failed login attempts. I receive 10-15 each day.

    I’ve changed my password. I had already masked the wp-admin login, so I changed it too, but I’m still receiving the notifications.

    Can someone tell me how to stop these attacks?

    Same thing happened to me last year. You can’t stop them. Decrease the amount of login attempts before a user is locked out, increase the lock out time, and realize the plugin is doing it’s job. If everything is secure, the wannabe hacker will eventually move on to an easier target.

    Oh, and make sure that proper permissions are set for your .htacess file. That’s where your hidden login URL information is written in plain sight.
