Hidden Login Page Exploited Again?

It is highly likely that the login attempts are not coming directly from the login page but instead they are being attempted via the wordpress xml-rpc script.
Can you please try activating the “Enable Pingback Protection” in the firewall rules?

Also you might want to see this thread too – a couple of users found that the above rule wasn’t working on their sites so they added another manual rule which stopped the unwanted login attempts:

Pingback protection has always been activated. Failed to mention that.

I will give the coding a shot.

I am not getting the amount of hits they were getting in that thread, and also the usernames being used on the hits im getting arent “admin”.

Some are random strings of numbers, some are using my author name (which i have masked so my real login name isnt showing), and some just shows the username as blank.

This hasnt happened since the last exploit was fixed, then within the last few days I started getting hit again.

Hi @jdizzle66 that is very strange because I have this feature set up on many websites and I don’t get any issues.
