BruteProtect is no longer supported

    In August 2014 BruteProtect was acquired by Automattic (makers of WordPress.com, Akismet, Jetpack, and more) with the goal of integrating BruteProtect’s functionality into the Jetpack plugin. Jetpack gives users the ability to update plugins, in bulk or automatically, via a WordPress.com connection. This feature, along with Jetpack’s existing “Monitor” functionality (which provides downtime alerts), duplicates many of the features once offered by My BruteProtect.

    As of March 2015, Jetpack also includes botnet protection. Therefore, we are no longer making any additions or improvements to the BruteProtect plugin. Protection against botnet attacks will not be interrupted, BruteProtect will continue to protect your site for free until the end of 2015. If you are having trouble with BruteProtect, please install Jetpack, ensure that the Protect module is activated, and remove BruteProtect.

  • I have a question about BruteProtect and Jetpack. I’m about to install BruteProtect in a new WordPress installation. Does your statement about BruteProtect not being updated include BruteProtect as integrated in Jetpack as well?

    Thanks!

    Peace…

    The Protect feature in Jetpack is the replacement for BruteProtect and that feature will be updated and maintained in Jetpack. BruteProtect the standalone plugin will no longer be updated.

    Thanks!
