You can set up IP restriction for the login page. This way only IP's that you allow will be able to access the login page. Ask your web host how to do this.

99% of the time you get fucked by an automatic scanner.
solutions: -change wp-admin directory -remove readme.html and licence.txt -remove the "powered by wordpress" part in the footer |

I recommend you make the wp-admin directory an obscure name. There is a tool that will scan like 1000+ different login directorys.
Make it something like wp-pooface and you should be ok. |

CyberSEO linked to a plugin a little while ago, but I'm not sure what thread it was. Here's the plugin he mentioned http://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-w...dpress/4177158

yeah I also limit IP to my IP. It sucks if it changes a lot though.

u can stop logins (well, whitelist it against ips). it wont stop all hacks at all (most are plugin ones) but it stops people trying to login and brute force guess pws...
<Files wp-login.php> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 123.123.123.123 allow from 456.789.456.789 </Files> |
