DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
WordPress is a popular website and blog hosting platform. Users authenticate to WordPress through a standard login page. This single point of entry is easily targeted with a simple brute force attack. After gaining unauthorized access, the attacker can take advantage of a Wordpress host with a credible reputation to maliciously send spam or launch other harmful attacks.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.
Category
A brute force attack is a method for finding valid credentials by guessing a user password. Working with software and pre-built or custom password lists, an attacker sends several username and password combinations to the WordPress login URI, which is wp-login.php. If an attacker guesses the right password for a given username, they could gain unauthorized access to the Wordpress site through the compromised account.
Implement a policy to lockout users after a specific number of failed authentication attempts
Implement two-factor authentication (2FA) on the WordPress host
Enforce a strong password creation policy
