• I was so excited. I keep themes and plugins up to date or delete. Had used the other top rated security plugins and no luck. I have blocked over 160 companies who have perhaps 200ips each but now the attacks are via programs and audit logs etc show no site access or 404s yet my cpu is overrun for the hackers leave their url pointers on my site for hours running at index page.

    I appreciate companies that offer programs at no charge but with all the free tools in place and the pro versions options I had in the other plugins and that didn’t help either. I was so hoping your compiled lists of IPs would help but my site even with just revslider, wp optimizer, 401 to 401, set toast, page duplicator, super cache and the Avada or X theme themes are being hacked away.

    My CPANEL shows the cpu 23 of 25 and 500 errors show until I remove site offline to find them waiting many times during the day every day.

  • Hey @tjf85,

    You need to scale your “banned users” list – I have over 2900 consolidated IP address ranges in mine – here it is

    You also need to scale your “banned user agents” list which you’ll find on this page as well.

    I hope this helps

    @tjf85 – One last thought, have you installed 2 factor authentication such as Google Authenticator? I have noticed the volume of hacking attempts on my sites over the last few weeks have fallen significantly since implementing it.
