Must Read - Russian Attack Ip Attacks 77,939 unique IP’s in Last 7 Days!!
Today I received and email from WordFence disclosing details on the IP address
that is responsible for the most attacks on WordPress sites during the past 7 days and I thought it worthy to be shared here... "The first part of this IP is: 46.161.X.X. We’re not sharing the full IP and in general we will mask the addresses of attacking IP’s in case those servers contain vulnerabilities. We don’t want to create new targets for attack. So for the sake of conversation, let's call this IP address Ivan. Ivan has been a very bad IP address. In the past 7 days he has launched 2,036,508 attacks on our customer sites which we’ve blocked. The next highest attacking IP address is responsible for 468,661 attacks, so this IP is head and shoulders the leading attack IP during the past week. In fact Ivan is responsible for over 12% of all the attacks on all WordPress sites that WordFence protects. That’s quite an achievement. During the past 7 days the total number of IP addresses we have blocked attacks from is 77,939 unique IP’s. This gives you an idea of how many attackers there are out there. Ivan has quite a lot of competition and despite that, he managed to come out at number 1. During the past 7 days Ivan attacked 32,091 unique websites." This is really eye-opening information and it's only a part of what's revealed the post.
