Today, my site hit a milestone. Jetpack Protect has blocked 1,000,000 malicious login attempts.
Typically, when using the wrong user name and password on the site, those credentials are sent to the site itself and you’ll see the site’s response that it was a bad password. Since a bunch of bots could try every combination, it could eventually guess your password.
Jetpack Protect monitors who is submitting failed login attempts on every site using Jetpack Protect. When it sees a single actor failing a number of login attempts—on one site or multiple sites—it will block that person from attempting to login on any site using Jetpack Protect.
