πŸ“Could these failed login attempts be fake?

Some users feel that it’s impossible to receive so many failed login attempts, especially since they’re site was just created or they have minimal human traffic. Let us be clear that these failed login attempts are NOT generated by the plugin. New websites are often hosted on a shared IP address, which makes it very easy for hackers to find. Also, new domain names are often crawled once they are created, so as soon as a WordPress website is built on it, it’s vulnerable to attacks. New websites are often the best target since security is not top of mind for site owners.
