Great idea!!!

  • I started using the WP plugin “Stream” and monitored my sites via RSS.
    Then I looked into the plugin “WordFence”. And also tried “Rename wp-login.php”.

    I haven’t yet tried “Security-protection” but the idea is very good for right now.

    What a waste of energy, and creativity, all this hacking, trying to break into accounts. People spent days, weeks, months behind their computers to invent more nonsense.

    Thank you for his plugin ??

    I think you should set the default to sending emails; this way admins get an idea that the plugin is working; then they can turn the emails off.

    Thank you very much for your feedback.

    I cannot set sending emails to default, because it could be very annoying and not everyone will know how to disable it.
    But you are right – every admin should know about the brute-force attacks and I am thinking how to show that there are attacks on hacking admin’s password. Probably I could add the counter of blocked brute-force attacks to the admin-bar or something similar.

    In your email you could add a link to a page, explaining how to disable the emails…

    I see now the trouble with too many emails… I just got 300 in a short time span.

    Some quick ideas:
    – keep track of sent emails
    – allow only 3 emails per 30 minutes
    – add an easy statistic to the email, like: 3,000 login attempts within the last 24 hours…

    Just some raw thought. ??
