I didn’t realize how open Wordpress and websites were open to attack. I wonder what can we do to fully prepare websites and prevent them from being attacked? It must be a constant uphill battle and costly exercise to best prepare for these forms of attacks.

I would imagine gambling sites are pretty near the top of the list for attacks of this nature, as they deal with real money, and in many cases big money, from users, the majority of which lose. So it is easy to high how some folk will get piddled off and take action in the form of a DOS attack.

Many people don’t realize how vulnerable most servers are to these types of attacks. It’s a long standing joke that if you make someone mad in IRC some script kiddie will get his buddies to pwn your box. Sadly, it’s all too true. Make love not war on the interwebs! lol.
