I've built a wordpress site. It's only been up for 2 weeks and probably has no visitors. This is fine because I just wanted to try it and learn, make some mistakes, etc.
So the site has been up for 2 weeks, and I've had hundreds of brute force attacks and modifications to the 4 core integrity files (I did not make these changes, wouldn't even know how).
I didn't want to use WIX because you are tied to them, I chose wordpress because this gives you an element of control... But I have no idea what is going on. I'm a noob and not technical or savvy to the coding lingo/language. I don't know what .htmgci0y.appconfig.php or wp-itapi.php is.
Sucuri is the plugin letting me know about the attacks and file changes, they just want me to upgrade though, won't give me much info.
Is this stuff common? It seems I already have a real problem with the core 4 files modified by someone or something other than myself. I only have three plugins so far. BackWPup, Limit Login Attempts, and the free Sucuri Security. I have more plugins I'm going to add, but I'm on hold while I figure this problem out.
Any pros or experienced out there have any advice on how I should proceed, what I need to do differently next time, etc?
Thank you!
