Η Automattic bought the plugin BruteProtect to protect against malicious attacks on WordPress websites. The company plans to customize the plugin in Jetpack Suite, which it develops itself.
BruteProtect will remain available for the time being, while the team development is working on adapting it to Jetpack. THE Automattic will also turn BruteProtect's premium service, which currently costs $5 a month, into a free service for all users. Όταν η τεχνολογία εφαρμοστεί πλήρως στο Jetpack, η ομάδα του ΒruteProtect θα ενημερώσει τους χρήστες εκ των προτέρων, πριν απενεργοποιήσουν το Plugin.

Last month, BruteProtect blocked 35 millions of attacks.
