• I had a really hard time this year with all those hacking bots, they kept finding new ways to access things, but now with Wordfence, I feel like I’ve been helped considerably! They still keep trying to use old log-in data that was leaked at some point. Now I just monitor everything as closely as possible and automatically update plugins and themes. A backup is easier to restore after a bad update. Hackers nest in places that are often not easily noticed, and restoring a backup often doesn’t do much. “Thank you for the free version, which I already like so much.”

    Hey @sqwell, firstly let me thank you for such a great review from us all at Wordfence! We’re delighted that it has helped you out during a difficult time.

    Our regularly-updated signatures and firewall rules are geared towards keeping our customers safe against specific issues as well as more general emerging threats. Many customers also use CDNs like Cloudflare or server firewalls too, as Wordfence is designed for defense in depth. Taking a layered approach to security can compliment the plugin’s range of features in stopping the unwanted attention.

    You’re well protected just by having Wordfence installed but it can also help massively to block XML-RPC, keep your plugins automatically up-to-date, and enable reCAPTCHA and 2FA for administrative accounts already using complex, unique passwords. By all means open up on a topic on our support forum any time if you have issues or questions around an event in the future.

    Peter.
