limit login attempts plugin wordpress
 

I read at dreamhost there is a 2nd wave of attacks going on with wordpress anyone try that plugin limit login attempts>? Is that enough?

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...ogin-attempts/

did you get hacked?

you can also ask your host if they can whitelist only your IP address(es) and the IPs of your staff

I also use this plugin: BulletProof Security

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...roof-security/

mojo whitelisted the ip. m3server added an extra password via htaccess. but I have a lot of hosts so trying to be proactive.

I use it, I like it, it has a small footprint unlike a lot of the security plugins

A captcha might help too, right?

I have been renaming wp-login.php and then rename it back to wp-login.php when I need to go back into admin.
