For those of you rocking WordPress sites...

Maybe this isn't kosher here, but I saw this news and thought it would probably apply to a disproportionate number of TOMBers.

The upshot is delete your "Admin" account. (But not before you make a different account and elevate its privileges to "Admin" status!) And make sure your password isn't in the top 1000 list of stupid passwords. And pray you're not on a host that gets infected. For those of you running your own servers or with more control over the server I really recommend an application called "fail2ban" (Linux only, I'm assuming) that temporarily bans IP addresses of computers that make too many failed attempts to access your server. I think it's been pretty effective at minimizing the bullshit crack attempts I see in my server logs.

Piece.

Thanx.
