@vshukla could you tell me the range of the blacklisted Ips and certain user names. I want to block them via the Cpanel.

Hi everybody,

I have same issues – have got many e-mail alerts within short time. My concern is not about the numbers of e-mail alerts. I can easily delette them.

BUT MY CONCERN IS TO KNOW WHAT MEASURES I NEED TO TAKE TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE PROTECTION THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE.

PLEASE SUGGEST!

@frank, Thanks. I don’t think I have access to ” backend (server)” . Am using a shared hosting with Hostgator.

I hope changing password will suffice.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes. You are right. They were locked out and not logged out and it’s good that I was notified. Am not complaining about that.

1. When I actually checked the wp/admin, it says username cannot be changed.

2. How was it possible for username to get out to the public domain?

3. What other steps I need to take apart from changing the password and username.

Thank you for your advise.

But, how can I be able to see and monitor some people who are trying to log in to my site with a “non-existent page” url? I usually get this information through the “live Traffic” menu.

What will you suggest?

And is there any other positive security function(s) of the “Live Traffic” that I would miss if I disable it?

I didn’t see the option where I need to download the file. And why do I actually need to download the file before I delete? Then, when I need to delete it from my server, do I need to do that via file manager or is it through wp-admin? or how?

Thanks in advance
