 * Our website was successfully hacked early this year, so we did some quick research
   and learned about brute force attacks. Let me tell you, since installing Loginizer,
   I was shocked at how many times a day people (robots?) in Russia and elsewhere
   were attempting to crack into my site. This easy-to-configure plugin put a stop
   to that mess. This doesn’t take the place of strong passwords, constant plugin
   updating and the like, but it’s an essential tool to stop the hackers from aggressively
   trying to get in. Recommended!
