By implementing strong passwords, limiting login attempts, enabling 2FA, and using security plugins, you can create multiple layers of defense against these attacks. Additionally, keeping your site updated, using a WAF, and regularly backing up your data will ensure that your WordPress site remains secure and resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, website security is an ongoing process. Stay vigilant, monitor your site for suspicious activity, and continuously improve your security measures to stay one step ahead of attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-footnotes\"><li
