Does BPS PRO Security really work?

[Lee]

The short answer is YES. every day I get several messages similar to this;

A User Account Has Been Locked
To take further action go to the BPS Pro Login Security page. If no action is taken then the User will be able to try and login again after the Lockout Time has expired. If you do not want to receive further email alerts go to S-Monitor and change or turn off Login Security Email Alerts.

Apparently my little site has value to these nerdy little hacker wannabes, but thankfully BPS has my back.

Glad your happy with BPS Pro.  BPS Pro has saved our own rear ends a number of times over the years. Here are some additional things below that you can do to protect against hackerbots, spambots, author URL’s / names being displayed publicly on your site so that these user accounts will not get locked repeatedly.

Use BPS Pro JTC Anti-Spam / Anti-Hacker.  This security feature blocks all auto-posting hackerbots and spambots.
