unfair? So, follow the steps to make your blog secure and Hacker Safe.
STEP 1

STEP 4
Stop brute force attacks
How to: Use login lockdown plugin, its and excellent plugin which monitors login attempts to your site. It checks how many times in a short period of time the same IP range has tried to login and if in that time a particular IP exceeds the attempts allowed then this sweet plugin will lock down access privileges for a time period you set.

STEP 5
Password protect
How to: Use the askapache password protect plugin It protects your Wordpress wp-admin folder which adds another layer of security by requiring a set of valid Username and Password to gain access to anything in the /wp-admin/ folder.
Easy to use, all you need to do is to create another username and password. Here, you added some more protection. It works by writing a new .htaccess file for that folder, and encrypts your new password. Highly recommended.
