  • Inviting everyone to the UX test of a new security feature in the WP Toolkit
    For WordPress site owners, threats posed by hackers are ever-present. Because of this, we are developing a new security feature for the WP Toolkit. If the topic of WordPress website security is relevant to you, we would be grateful if you could share your experience and help us test the usability of this feature. We invite you to join us for a 1-hour online session via Google Meet. Select a convenient meeting time with our friendly UX staff here.

SPAM attack

If you have a SPAM attack being generated from your server then surely the best thing to do is look at the cause of the generated emails and fix the issue rather than trying to limit how many can be sent? Do you know how the emails are being generated from your server? Had a mate the other day where SPAM being sent through his server was being authenticated. All I could think was that the username and password for the account had been compromised so changing the password for that account stopped the mail. Other routes for SPAM are hacked sites with files placed on them that can be called remotely to generate mails from the box and also insecure contact forms etc so have a good look at the log files on your machine and work out how the SPAM is being generated. Fix the cause of the problem!
