Are you noticing your Plesk panel lagging or seeing endless failed login attempts in the Log Browser?
Since mid-March 2025, brute force attacks have been hammering Plesk installations on Windows Server, and we’ve cracked the code to stop them dead.

Our team at The Hosting Heroes put together a proven fix using Cloudflare to shield your login and a PowerShell script to lock it down server-side.
It’s worked wonders for us and our clients—attacks stopped instantly, and Task Manager even recovered from the chaos. No more slowdowns, no more headaches.

Check out the full step-by-step guide here: How to Protect Your Plesk Login from Brute Force Attacks on Windows Server.

It covers everything: spotting the attack, setting up Cloudflare rules, securing your URL, and even fixing a broken Plesk Task Manager caused by attack of login attempts.

If you’ve been hit by this wave or just want to stay ahead, give it a try and let me know how it goes—or if you’ve got other tricks up your sleeve!
