 * I have ‘WordPress Firewall 2’ installed on my WordPress site. Over the past couple
   of days its been reporting multiple reports of attacks per day – previous to 
   this I had noticed several “casino” links appear on various posts of mine – Can
   anyone explain whats happening? and what can I do to stop this from happening?
 * Thanks in advance for any advice given!
