question – will this plugin protect from xmlrpc attacks?

Same thing happening to me. Anybody knows?

Hey Ari!

BruteProtect does protect against XML-RPC– we monitor and block login attempts there.

By the way, I’m really enjoying my Yubikey– thanks for the hook up ??

glad you like it….
likewise I love your service… and loo forward to having it part of jetpack…

here’s more details on the attack that targets the xmlrpc.php page. It is a brute force attack against domain.com/xmlrpc.php.
see:
https://blog.sucuri.net/2014/07/new-brute-force-attacks-exploiting-xmlrpc-in-wordpress.html

that page says “none of the [plugins] we tried will protect you from the XMLRPC calls”

but you are saying the BruteProtect does protect from these attacks? maybe you want to leave a comment on that page…

Hey Ari– I’d recommend you read the comments, in particular the one from me ??
