 * My website has recently had a lot of attacks. There has been an Increased Attack
   Rate and attempted logins with usernames that don’t exist (ie several attempted
   logins from around the world with the same attempted username, something related
   to the domain name).
 * I have the free version of Wordfence installed on my site.
 * Is my site ok or would you suggest that I do something to further protect my 
   site?
 * Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmany-attacks-recently%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hey [@redelefant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redelefant/),
 * I know it’s always alarming to see these attacks, but they’re actually quite 
   normal. There’s only so much we can d to prevent attacks, it’s more about making
   sure they aren’t successful, which it sounds like Wordfence is doing. If you’re
   using strong passwords and two-factor I wouldn’t worry too much.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
