    Hi,

    Could you help me ore give advice? I would like to find a plugin ore a way to track malicious code. A couple a weeks ago i noticed many spambots where getting true my security messures. I become suspicous when i noticed spam was created as a new group by the admin (me). I clicked on the icon of group admin that created the new spam group and it came back to my profile. So i started to do some investigation. Looking in the all in one security I noticed under failed login another user with my ip adress. This user had a bizare name (93e60…) During last 2 weeks he/she changed alot his/here username. Im 100 % shure that i’m the only person at home that use the site. It’s remarkable The user with my ip adres has no email adres in the all in one security. Anoter plugin i installed was stop spammers. It confirmed that an author with my ip adress by the name (93e60…) had a good cache in /wp-login.php, again there was no email adres.

    Did someone placed malicious code on my site? How can it be that they use my ip adress? I did a virus scan on my pc. Nothing was found. I contacted my host. They did a malware scan on the site, nothing was found. But the user with my ip is still there. I don’t know what to do, could you give me advise? Is there a plugin that could help, one that can track bad codes?

    Thank you very much

    What you could do is install two factor authentication for your admin users:

    Two Factor Authentication

    That might help. This is more of a general WordPress query so you might get better responses if you post to the WordPress forums.

    Hi,

    For evryone that experienced the same with the user with same ip adress in failed login report I found an soloution.I installed many security plugin even bought some but the problem was still there. Then One day I started to do 2 things. First I removed all the page that where not necessairy for my site. Second what I did was I removed couple plugins that where there but just in deactivation mode. Those 2 combination did the trick. Ore there was a plugin that was doing strange things ore it got confused off all the diffrente page in the background that i didnd’t needed. I easily removed 30 page.
    I hope one day if a person experience the same problem as me that this can guide him to a solution.

    For all the spambots, for me the All In One WP Security & Firewall helped really well to block spambots even before it could enter my site.

    greetings
