I’ve been sitting here in my home office doing a little maintenance on my email inbox. It’s not a zero inbox that some people strive for, but I’m making progress.
In the background my inbox is exploding with notifications of attacks on my website. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again...why would anybody want to break into a real estate website?
This one is sophisticated. Every attempt has been from a different ip address, and there have been quite a few. As a matter of fact, 1,489 break in attempts in the last nine minutes...and they just keep coming.
The best defense is some sort of security plug in if you’re using WordPress...AND...the strongest password you can stand. Don’t forget to remove Admin as a user, that’s the default when you set up a Wordpress site.
I’m sure they’ll get tired after a while...at least I hope so. I need to get some sleep.
So far, my website security is holding, but my inbox is getting slammed with notifications which I’m reluctant to turn off. For now, I’d rather get the bazillion email notifications so I know what’s going on.
