♥peterpil19 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi, When I look at my servers error logs, I see continuous attempts to access public_html/wp-login.php All day, every day. Different IP addresses. Is this common? Presumably, computers set up to try and break into word-press sites? I don't have word press so their attempts are in vein. Anything that can be done about it or is it something that I just have to put up with...

♥peterpil19 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 I would put a captcha on your contact us page too or these same spiders will be sending you a lot of spam.

MrPhil Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah, very common. I don't have WP installed either, but every day my server logs up to a dozen 404s when someone is trying to run wp-login.php. I assume it's more likely for spamming purposes than hacking. I add them to my IP Deny list (.htaccess). I just wish it were possible to send some VX nerve gas back down the line, or maybe a 100 Megavolt shock (as these are probably bots rather than humans at the other end).
