Hacking or disturbing a website protected by password mechanisms using brute-force is a felony. In most of the countries worldwide! As my web space provider wants to deliver good service, I got notified about an increasing login attempt using bogus IP addresses and source locations. But one thing is for sure: A botnet is involved trying to hack WordPress and Joomla-based blogs and CMS-based websites. As the botnet gets successful, it will then install another admin user and try to spread aound any further. Since private computers mostly don&#8217;t offer much power or are protected by Antivirus software, Server at web space providers have much more computing power to set up a basis for a botnet.<\/p>\n<p>So until this problem exists and there&#8217;s not an effective way to deliver a secure login while maintaining disturbers to stay out, I have to close down the dashboard login until heat comes down again!<\/p>\n<p>Sorry for this inconvenience but must of this is thanks to some idiotic script kiddies whose only attempt is to disturb others as they&#8217;re frustrated or have other mental problems.<\/p>\n<p>Have I ever mentionned that those people caught of creating\/using a botnet should be sued not to use a computer in their life again? And if they do, their next hotel stay is at hotel ironbars with freshly filtered air and free rectal soap!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to hacking, I&#8217;ll get alerted.
