Potential WordPress problem (Brute Force attack against WordPress websites)
We have monitored on-going brute-force attack against WordPress websites, in order to keep your WordPress website secure, we recommend you do the following:
-
Please change your password for WordPress admin area.
-
Go to your cPanel > File Manager and find your wp-login.php file.
Temporary rename wp-login.php file (for example into wp-login1.php).
You need to change a line in your wp-login.php to reflect the change to the file name. Its line 380 where the form action refers to wp-login.php
-------------------------Update---------------------------
wp-login.php is temporary disabled because of huge brute force attack. Please rename wp-login.php to something else.
You should then also edit the file “wp-includes/general-template.php”, on line 237 there’s a function called “wp_login_url” which You should update with your new file name instead of wp-login.php
