Subject: [bitfolk] For those hosting WordPress blogs
I've got a Fail2Ban jail set up to ban anyone accessing any
wp-login.php more than five times. It's just triggered a dozen times
in a minute - there's another major burst of hack attempts going on.

Especially if you or any clients have an account called 'admin' on a
WP site - not a good idea, as it's the WP default and thus the primary
one hackers go for - you want to watch out.
