attack of the clones

Think I’ll log off  awhile  and  see  wha  haps.

“Thanks Don,

I gave this a try, but now it looks like I’ll need to wait a few minutes — access
to WordPress login page is blocked due to some massive attack on the site
by 1000s of remote machines trying to gain admin access credentials.

“Since mid April a very large brute force attack has been taking place against WordPress sites.

The brute force attacks have been conducted by a large botnet ( collection of PCs that have been
infected and are now able to be remotely controlled by criminals )  consisting of thousands of
unique IP addresses across the world, trying to steal WordPress admin credentials.”

sigh.   internet script kiddies cause us regular folks havoc “

I’ll try again in 15-20 minutes and hopefully should be able to get it
