    Hi,

    I noticed that your plugin report of brute force attacks always says the same in the message (for every site I run it). Total is always 36 and the rest of the numbers remain 0.
    In the app it’s ok, just the notification that gives false info.

    Hi username,

    On Friday, September 09, 2016 at 05:34:53, WPBruiser has detected a Brute Force Attack on your ***** website.

    Statistics at detection time
    Total Hits Total IPs BlackListed IPs Web Attackers IPs Anonymizers IPs
    36 1 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%) 0 (0.00%)

    Hi Spivster,
    This can happen when WPBruiser detects a brute force attack from a single IP address. When a distributed attack will be detected(I hope you’ll never face something like this) trust me, the numbers in the reports will change. The total 36 blocked requests are at the reporting time. If you log in into admin area and check the reports of course you’ll see over there all the blocked login attempts.
    Probably, it’s going to be a good idea to send different email notifications for each type of detected attack. I’ll think about this!
