PBN's and constant hacking / attacks /

So i have quite a few domains that I have that I have bought over the years and I have now figured I may as well make them PBNs
So I have installed wordpress into all of them and made them all websites- functioning websites and have them on various hosting platforms.

However, they are constantly always being attacked or getting hacked.
(maybe a slight over exaggeration) but one this morning I received an email stating a hack attempt was blocked.. but I do wonder how many actually get in.

I install wordpress wordfence and a few other plugins to protect them but I have not paid for extra protection on them as it just makes everything really expensive

What do you do to stop/reduce attacks and hacking attempts

Any specific plugins or methods.

Should I worry about the hacking?
Isnt it a lot to juggle to keep up with all the protection it requires?

It's just an endless swarm of bot's, set your security to lock them out faster and ignore em. make sure your login isn't Admin or the name of your website. This is just wordpress life

Edit: You can find those security apps provided by our resident shady dealer @Festinger in the download section as well but honestly you don't really need premium for fence

Install login limits or better, you can rename the wp-login.php file to something random and change it back when you want to login. This way if someone else tries to open the login page, they'll get a 404 error. This is what I do on most of my sites, I don't know about other people.

Change wp login file, and use wordfence premium it’s available here for free that should do it, even if attack happens your site won’t go down

automatic 1 month ip lockout to anyone who uses a user name that doesn't exist xD

This might not translate well on a site where you are building actual communities though

sounds like great ideas! thank you

True that but I think OP is talking about his PBN here. Most of the people don't put too much in their PBN, let alone building a community. But still, you make a valid point.

From what I can see, mostly Cloudflare IPs are being used to brute-force the login page. Maybe you should block those IP ranges.
