New website security program SecureScanPRO offers automatic hacker IP bans and brute-force attack protection for WordPress. Interested WordPress website owners can view full details of how the automatic hacker IP ban blacklist plugin works via the website, http://www.securescanpro.com/.
Brute-force attacks have become more common as hackers maintain botnets of “zombie” computers that can be used to attack a site all at once, with multiple login attempts. If a successful login attempt is made, user accounts can be compromised and data lost. If the admin account is compromised, it is possible that the website may become infected, spreading malware to visitors.
It is this unwanted behavior that SecureScanPRO works to prevent.
The WordPress access protection service of SecureScanPRO was developed as a means to combat botnets that hackers use to attack sites by forcing multiple computers to attempt to gain unauthorized access. The automatic hacker IP ban and blacklist prevents brute-force attacks by automatically banning IPs associated with botnet behavior.
The developers of SecureScanPRO designed the plugin with the average website owner in mind rather than IT pros because, “the majority of website owners out there are small business people without a dedicated technical staff to manage their WordPress security. SecureScanPRO has multiple layers of protection designed to prevent a site from being compromised, as well as the ability to proactively defend against brute-force attacks that attempt to guess users’ passwords. This is a true “one click” solution that scans, corrects and prevents WordPress intrusions.”
SecureScanPRO users do not have to manage the hacker IP ban or maintain the blacklist – the plugin takes care of all the technical behind-the-scenes details. This makes the automatic hacker IP ban blacklist particularly useful as aggregate information of multiple attacks on different websites can be used to protect websites that haven’t been attacked yet.
