Dealing with the Wordpress DDOS attacks -reducing the server load
Posted 20th April 2013 at 02:06 PM by RobinInTexas
The DDOS attacks can put a heavy load on the server and the MYSQL database
You can deny access to wp-login.php based on the ip address if you don't allow visitors to log in
alternatively, you can use basic authentication
and deny access unless users have a username/password
you could create a generic user/password and display it on the blog or the login screen to allow visitors to login, but the bots won't see that.
That approach will work on a linux system using .htaccess.
