Wordpress botnets have attacked more websites frequently and slowing them down slighlty, we have been looking at fix and have found one such fix using HTTP authentication.

When loggin into the admin area of your Wordpress website you will be presented with a random username and password question. Kindly answer it and it will present you to your wordpress login page.

We are aware some clients may find this a nuisance but it seems to be stopping the botnets currently. 

Security and Speed of your website/s is of utmost importance to us hence massive random IP attacks to your admin login page can cause issues. 

We hope this helps.
