The Automattic bought the plugin BruteProtect to protect against malicious attacks on websites with WordPress. The company plans to adapt the plugin to suite Jetpack, developed by the same.
The VruteProtect will remain available for the time being, while the development team is working on the adaptation of the Jetpack. The Automattic also will convert VruteProtect premium service, which currently costs $ 5 a month, a free service for all users. Once the technology is fully implemented in the Jetpack, the team VruteProtect will inform users in advance, before disabling the plugin.
Interestingly, the founder of VruteProtect Sam Hotchkiss revealed that developed the first version of the tool in 18 hours last year when he noticed a significant increase in botnets that used brute force attacks to enter the administrative panel of WordPress sites. Last month, the VruteProtect takes 35 million attacks.
