WordPress security - a heads up
This is from one of the biggest and most technically knowledgable players in the hosting world so it's likely to be reliable information.
=======================
In an ongoing effort to make you aware of security and performance concerns, we wanted to inform you of an ongoing event.
There is a brute-force login attack targeted at websites with WordPress. Due to the nature of the attack, memory consumption on targeted servers has increased. In some cases this has resulted in degradation of performance, and unresponsive servers. This is due to a high volume of http requests which can cause some servers to start swapping memory to disk, and possibly run out of memory. The most impacted servers tend to be those with limited memory resources, especially those with 1GB of RAM or less.
=======================
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
Neil
