David,

Re wordpress, I run a very tight ship on my cpanel server. Anyone trying to
brute force an account more or less unless i know its legitimate and
someone accidentally blocked themselves by typing in the password
incorrectly i  usually let those slide anything else is blocked at the
firewall of this server. I also use Wordfence which is a very strong and
powerful WAF for wordpress, alerts you to attacks on user credentials ip
origins etc. From a security aspect i think wordpress has come a really
long way since v3 when i started using it.
