Fake WordPress User Bots – Are problems in using Wordfence and sucuri together?
I posted the following on the WordPress forum.
Wordfence doesn’t stop Fake WordPress User Bots. A google search article suggests WP blocking plugins and sucuri. Though there are problems in using Wordfence and sucuri together.
I suggest you set WordPress to send an E mail when new users subscribe. At least you can delete them. Though this maybe shutting the stable door after the horse has left.
I fear its a problem of having ‘any users can subscribe’ ticked in the setting.
Which is necessary for membership sites.
This has gone on for years and a WordPress setting problem.
What I don’t understand, is what benefit the bots get from registration. Apart from knowing that the site is running WordPress. With all the security/update issues that brings.
