WordPress Hacking Attempt from localhost
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 9:56 pm
Hello,
I'm running Vesta on a micro droplet from DO, and I I love it. Super absolutely awesome. Fast, and concise. So, I have a disturbing trend, which is someone attempting to brute force my wordpress sites, and the firewall identifies the origin IP as the server IP.
That scares me, and I'm not sure how to identify the vulnerability. I'm assuming I left off an important security measure, as the install was so quick an easy, I didn't give it much thought. Should I change my SSH port, or somehow alter the root ID from 'root'?
What can I do to get this hacker out of my awesome Vesta install. It's great! Another fine application from Russian devs, thank you!
Regards,
Adam
