The origin of yesterday’s brute-force login attempt in Luhansk, Ukraine
Readers who came to Combat! blog to shop for children’s melatonin will be disappointed to learn our security measures are working. After yesterday’s discovery of hax, I finally installed some basic protections, including a lockout function to prevent brute-force login attempts. Basically, if you enter the wrong password too many times, you can’t connect to the site for an hour. What’s that you say in your coarse, plebeian voice? You’ve never logged in to Combat! blog? That’s because the only user is me, plus the admin account WordPress requires for stuff like changing my password. Yesterday, my firewall locked out an IP address in Luhansk, Ukraine for multiple failed login attempts on that admin account. I changed my password, you vodka-sodden kleptocrat. So why don’t you just impulsively kill your landlady and then worry about it for six hundred pages?
