I have LOTS of attempts on the Mambo, Joomla & Wordpress sites that I host. They spray the Administrator pages with login attempts. It is damn annoying as it fills the logs up too! Please, please everyone set a directory password on all administrator directories (as well a secure admin login password).<br>
See : <a href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/apache/password-protect-directory.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.thesitewizard.com/<u></u>apache/password-protect-<u></u>directory.shtml</a> to set a directory password. It is easy to do! I HATE PHP with a vengence!!! It is 10X slower than a compiled application: it is easy to see if they are trying to exploit you, just look at the massive spike in CPU on the servers!. It seems that I am reading about a new PHP exploit every few weeks. It is so easy to mis-configure the stupid thing as well. </rant><br>

Its all those damn Joomla/Wordpress websites that have been compromised and<br>
I don't see it stopping either, since they are millions of these websites<br>
that wont get patched/upgraded until its exploited.<br>
