In case you notice a big increase in the online traffic to your website and in case after you check the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from places across the globe or from other servers, your site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Those pieces of software go through random sites trying to log in to their administrator area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where this kind of an option is provided. Unfortunately, this is something rather frequent in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will not be able to access your site in any way. Naturally, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.
