Especially against wordpress and old unupdated java scripts. Everyone is is sending out notifications...

Our new rec is is minimum passwords of 10 characters upper lower symbol and no english words. Different pws for cpanel and sftp access and update your scripts and use correct permissions or we loc your site till its secure...

Currently we are hit by over a million probes a day from china taiwan and amsterdam. Guys we are in a cyber war and no one in gov is really doing anything about it.

I would block all international access to the sites cpanel and sftp my voice switches ect... but management says no...

IP tables and fail2ban work good but id rather just block the whole damn class A's...

All I can say is back up your stuff NOW before you get hacked and wiped out.
