While running a WordPress installation through a hosting service can be a convenient way to start a website, it’s not without security vulnerabilities that may sometimes be hard to troubleshoot. Brute-force attacks, cyberattacks that rapidly work to guess and access personal information like logins or passwords, happen when these vulnerabilities are exploited. Brute-force attacks can be placed within any vulnerability, and can sometimes originate from your website.

When facing brute-force attacks from your Droplets on DigitalOcean, it’s imperative to remove the threat quickly.
