Wordpress Under Attack?

scorpion896 · Jun 11, 2012

Today I got 100 mails to my email address stating:

[h=3]WordPress Firewall has detected and blocked a potential attack![/h]This may be a "WordPress-Specific SQL Injection Attack."

I have wordpress Firewall 2.0 installed on my site which is what sent me the email. Is there anything I need to do?

Make sure you avoid the anonymous directory browsing with this code in your .htaccess.

Options -indexes

This code works on linux based hosts and stops the anonymous directory browsing and only allows to the admins and the user of that cpanel account. That being said, get a wordpress security plugins that blocks attacks on login info. Also assign a new login URL if possible which will avoid the attack.

That being said, get a wordpress platforms techniques systems protection plug-ins that prevents concerns on sign in essential information. Also determine a new sign in URL if possible which will prevent the assault.
