Wordpress Botnet Attack Escalates
1. How the attack works, and why you’re at
serious risk if you don’t act fast
It started by hackers getting inside 100,000 computers illegally, to plant a Trojan horse virus.
Once that happened, they could now control all of these computers from one single program
they created.
This network of computers now works like an army of hackers, automatically attempting to
hack WordPress sites, 24/7, 365 days a year.

“US-CERT is aware of an ongoing campaign targeting the content management software
WordPress, a free and open source blogging tool and web publishing platform based on PHP
and MySQL. All hosting providers offering WordPress for web content management are
potentially targets. Hackers reportedly are utilizing over 90,000 servers to compromise
websites’ administrator panels by exploiting hosts with “admin” as account name, and weak
passwords which are being resolved through brute force attack methods.
CloudFlare, a web performance and security startup, has to block 60 million requests against
its WordPress customers within one hour elapse time. The online requests reprise the
WordPress scenario targeting administrative accounts from a botnet supported by more than
90,000 separate IP addresses. A CloudFlare spokesman asserted that if hackers
successfully control WordPress servers, potential damage and service disruption could
exceed common distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack defenses.”
About The Product
WP Brute Force is a VERY simple and powerful plugin. You add it to your wordpress site.
Click one button and it scans your site for vulnerabilities. Then it takes you through them
one by one to to fix them. Unlike other “security” plugins out there, this one doesn’t fight
against brute force wordpress botnet attacks it PREVENTS them before they can even start.
We have reverse engineered the algorithm of wordpress Brute Force attacks. These attacks
are completely automated. So we remove all the primary markers that these viruses use to
locate you website and check for vulnerabilities. There is no risk of server overload with other
security plugins out there that simply try to limit the amount of damage a Brute Force
WordPress botnet attack can do.
And unlike other plugins. You run ours once. And you are secure. You can then deactivate it
and never worry about vulnerabilities again! http://www.wordpressbotattack.com The
