For the past week i’ve notice a lot of traffic coming from the Newspaper/TagDiv powered websites showcase form that hitting my site with some strange behaviour and from different countries e.g India,Italy,USA,France just to name a few..and i have proof they coming from here because i can see all my live traffic as it hit my site also a lot of 404s in my logs from this form…i think it’s best to not showcase sites in this form any more because they a lot of low life people on here that just want to hack people sites etc..
They trying to hack my site from the login form and they had no success with that so they now trying to find a new way to get in,well my site is bullet proof, who ever you are will get banned and you can keep changing ips till the cows come home they all will be get banned and reported…
GET A LIFE WHO EVER SIT ON THEY MOO TRYING TO BRING DOWN PEOPLE SITE…
I’ve seen a lot of increased spam/logins on my site as well. I can’t say its from here or not. But you may try a WordPress plugin called “WordFence” as it has helped my site block a lot of IP’s and people trying to login via an unauthorized login name.
I posted a ‘rant’ on the showcase thread, too đ
Hello all,
I do not believe this is an issue with our community… Your site is available on the net and anyone can try to attack it. In general all most of the WordPress sites have strange traffic, there seems to be a lot of bots that crawl for insecure WordPress sites. The best way to protect yourself is what Chris S recommended here https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspapertagdiv-powered-websites-showcase/page/4/#post-70075 . In addition to the very good recommendations I also use Cloudflare CDN, it basically sits between your server and the internet and it’s very efficient when it comes to attacks.
