How To Secure Magento Website From Brute-Force Attacks.

Introduction

Brute-force attacks are becoming very common these days. Most websites are by default vulnerable to such attacks. If you use Magento, WordPress, Drupal or any other popular web software, it’s not unlikely to see hundreds of attempts being carried out by hackers to crack through your website each day as “admin”, “administrator” or “root”.

An automated script tries several different combinations of usernames and passwords, over and over again, until the login security is breached.

Key in understanding the widespread usage of these attacks is that it is relatively simple to add new targets and new permutations at very little cost.
