    Hello,
    I installed the Yoast SEO plugin on three websites and ever since I am being brute force attacked constantly.
    At first, I only installed the plugin on two of the three websites and the third was not being attacked.. Anyways, silly me, I didn’t realize it could be the plugin causing the attacks on the first two, so I installed it on the third. Within a day it was being attacked. Now I am receiving 50+ emails a day notifying me of attempted logins…. I deleted the plugin (and its files) from my third site to see if it would stop… I have Wordfence installed and it is locking the site down for me, but I’m afraid one of these times it will get through and kill my site.

    Any advice would be very much appreciated!
    Thanks for your time.
