Put three pebbles in a cup of water. Drop it on the floor. Then run round it three times. That should solve your problem 1 Like 1 Share |

WAECFlyer5:Your username is very simple to guess. I'll advise you change that username ASAP, use something creative and very hard-to-guess and use a strong password. 1 Like 1 Share |

WAECFlyer5: Very simple... update your WordPress or any other outdated plugins that needs an update, change your WordPress and Gmail password to a very strong one, also enable sms verification feature on your gmail account. follow these few measures and you are safe. |

It's unlikely this person knows your recovery email. And even if they do, it's still useless to them. However, what the person likely knows is your username - from your posts...post Author. And they must have clicked on "Lost Password?" Install Sucuri, so you can see a log of all activities, and an IP ban plugin too - to ban any IPs that attempt to login. Also have a strong password. Set extended lockouts. Update to current versions as well, and then stop giving a fvck. |

Like some people already suggested, install Wordfence and your blog will be secured. Just got a mail from wordfence about some Aethera Botnet that is attcking wordpress blogs/websites by guessing your password. Read the full detail below: [size=18pt]Aethera Botnet Attacks WordPress Sites [/size] Exec summary: There is currently a botnet that has been identified that is targeting WordPress websites with a password guessing attack. If you have Wordfence installed with our default settings, you are already protected against this attack. The botnet is powered by modem/router devices. ISP’s are gradually patching the devices but many are left vulnerable or infected as some ISP’s respond slowly to this issue. Full article: In February of this year a security researcher at Voidsec noticed brute force attacks on his personal WordPress site and he noticed a pattern in the IP addresses attacking his site. They were mostly Italian internet service providers. They were: Fastweb Albacom, now BT-Italia Clouditalia Qcom WIND BSI Assurance UK What he discovered is that the IP’s attacking his site were all devices. They were all Aethera modem/routers to be exact. By doing some further sleuthing he discovered that all the Aethera devices involved in the attack were using default login credentials (blank/blank). The modems had obviously been hacked and the attacker had gained access through the default login. They had then installed malware on the modems that launched a brute force password guessing attack on WordPress sites. The Aethera devices in question suffer from various XSS vulnerabilities, a CSRF vulnerability and a HTML5 cross-origin resource sharing issue. The researcher then used Shodan, a search engine for devices on the Net, to find out how many vulnerable Aethera devices are on the Net and found around 8,000 vulnerable devices. They likely used a search on Shodan similar to this one. They estimate that the amount of bandwidth the combined vulnerable devices have access to is between 1.7 and 17 Gigabits per second. This could be used for a massive distributed denial of service attack. Voidsec tried to contact all ISP’s without much luck. Fastweb was responsive after a time and they have fully patched all affected routers. BT-Italia has been unresponsive and remains vulnerable. While this research was happening, Krebs published a post about Lizard Squad, a hacking group, and a new DDoS tool that they were trying out to knock websites (and anyone else) offline. It seems that Lizard Squad may have been using the Aethera vulnerability to power their DDoS botnet. The timeline was as follows: Feb 13: Voidsec discovers the botnet. They contacted BT-Italy at this time. Feb 25: Tries again to contact BT Italy using various methods with no luck. December 11: FastWeb is told about the vulnerability and they agree on a disclosure schedule. December 22: Disclosure and FastWeb’s routers are fixed. Here’s the full post on voidsec.com. Voidsec is an Italian company so the post is also available in Italian. We will continue to monitor activity from this botnet at Wordfence and will share any interesting data we uncover. There are still many unpatched Aethera router/modems out there and they are still being used to launch attacks. Hopefully with the press coverage around this issue, the unresponsive ISPs involved will patch their customer devices and stop the attacks they’re launching on WordPress websites and other targets. https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2015/12/aethera-botnet-attacks-wordpress-sites/ |
