Is your blog a 'Walking Dead' star?

Published: Wed, 04/22/15

Hi,

the brute force attacks against WordPress sites just doesn't end, hackers are constantly recruiting new blogs for their 'Zombie' army, which side on you on?

Make sure you're not part of the 'Walking Dead'

"Botnets" use hundreds of thousands of unique IP addresses (from compromised/hacked 'Zombie' computers across the world) to attack hosts across the globe, specifically targeting WP Blogs.

Brute force attacks against WordPress have trebled in recent months!!!

Even big web hosts have been warning their customers about this, some have even had to take drastic measures to keep their servers and their customers sites up and running, even so far as to globally disable access to wp-login.php on sites, so their owners are locked out until the host can put a better solution in place.

Botnet's like this mainly target /wp-login.php and /wp-admin to try and get access using brute force, and obviously the main target for login attempts is the default username "admin".

Does your blog login use the username "admin"..?

The top passwords targetted include some fairly obvious one's, make sure you're not using something as weak as any of these:

admin

123456

666666

111111

12345678

qwerty

1234567

password

12345

123

123qwe

123admin

12345qwe

12369874

123123

1234qwer

1234abcd

123654

123qwe123qwe

123abc

3123qweasd

123abc123

12345qwert

if you are using something like this then you may already be hacked...
