 * Hello,
 * I am receiving messages from [https://www.openbugbounty.org/](https://www.openbugbounty.org/)
   that wp-json is open.
    Is it protected against brutforce attacks by Wordfence?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@tt22tt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tt22tt/), thanks for reaching
   out to us.
 * Just out of interest, was that a search for your specific URL, or a listed WordPress
   disclosure dated recently? I just can’t find the direct reference myself.
 * Wordfence will block repeated attempts to utilise features such as wp-json and
   XML-RPC as part of either known rules/signatures in the firewall updates that
   come from our servers or the brute force blocking settings you have configured.
 * You can find all of the brute force login protection rules in the **Wordfence
   > All Options > Brute Force Protection** page. All options are described here:
 * [https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/brute-force/](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/brute-force/)
 * If you start to notice a lot of attempts in your **Live Traffic**, you can also
   put manual blocks in place as you see fit, but generally you shouldn’t need to
   do too much time-consuming management of this nature – if any.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
