    do brute attacks eventually stop by themselves

    is there a site that shows you an easy way to block countries with htaccess

    i cant block IPs theres thousands of IPs

    how can an attack damage my sites

    if my webhost simply moved my cpanel to another server would it stop the attack

    could the attack harm my webhost or the share servers and other peoples sites

    I’ve used this plugin on a few sites: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/ip-geo-block/

    And I use WordFence to block the brute force attacks.

    They never go away, just vary in intensity.

    You don’t stop them, you just try to render them ineffective with a good application firewall, repeat login detection, and blocking the worst of the network sources.

    Moving to another server will not help. Will it harm other sites? Well, if you’re successfully hacked, perhaps. Also, enough attacks can overwhelm a server. Your goal is to keep your door locked; you can’t stop them from knocking.

    I found ‘rename wp-login.php’ very usefull.
