 * Is there still a problem with the current release?
    We were attacked hard, I 
   had to disable our gateway entirely. I’ve run malware scans, and there don’t’
   appear to be any code injections.

 * We had to switch to Bot Fight mode in Cloudflare, add a number of firewall rules
   and upgrade to Cloudflare Pro to use their WAF tool to beef up security and add
   a user registration plugin that requires manul approval just to fight this thing.

 * Hi [@usat009](https://wordpress.org/support/users/usat009/),
 * From the linked thread (thank you!) the best way to combat this particular issue
   is to make sure the latest version of WooCommerce is installed. Blocks is native
   to WooCommerce now, so you do not actually need the Blocks plugin to get the 
   effects of Blocks.
 * It is always best to reach out to the Host and verify the security that can be
   in place for items such as this. We are very sorry that it happened, and that
   it does appear great lengths were taken to ensure it was not going to happen 
   again. for this instance, if it does happen again feel free to re-open this thread
   with a reply and let us know.
