Should I Be Worried? - Hacking Attempts

The Study Gurus · #1 09-22-2011, 02:19 AM

Hi all,

We switched to Genesis a few months ago after a hacker completely shut down our old site - but it was probably the best thing we've ever done!

But anyway - I'm currently getting a number of notifications from our WP Firewall plugin about an attack.

Quote:

WordPress Firewall has detected and blocked a potential attack!

Web Page: www.thestudygurus.com/wp-login.php
Warning: URL may contain dangerous content!
Offending IP: 193.105.240.173 [ Get IP location ]
Offending Parameter: log = wp_admin

This may be a "WordPress-Specific SQL Injection Attack."

I'm getting about 5 of these a day - and I'm not sure if I should be worried or not :/

Thanks a million

Chris
