About: Warwick Jones

I deleted that user that was created for you to log in and take a look my WP set up.

Given the multiple login attempts originate in Turkey, Romania, Iran, China I think it is fairly safe to assume the reason for multiple login attempts is to HACK the site.

Somehow members who forget passwords / have trouble logging in get blocked out after 3 tries, so what are the hackers doing to get around this.

As you have so far been unable to grasp the situation, and the time it takes for a reply, and because previous issues remain unresolved I think It best I start looking at an alternative member management plugin.

Hello Cristian,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the membership options page is set. And I know it is working because every now and again a member contacts me about being shut out for half an hour – so that part works.

So I guess the question should be, how are these hackers getting around it. I have no idea why they would be interested in my site, but now getting attempts from China, UK and Romania – or at least this is the reported IP address locations the hackers are using.

Any ideas on this would be great. I can’t keep blocking IPs by country, for obvious reasons.
