Important information for WordPress users

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Ceri John

Web hosts throughout the world are currently experiencing large scale DDoS attacks aimed specifically at WordPress installations on shared hosting platforms. To combat this, we have altered the way you log in to your WordPress account.

When you try to log in to your WordPress account, you will be prompted for a username and password which was previously not required. The credentials for this log in are:

Username: protected
Password: wordpress

When normal service is resumed, this prompt will be removed. For the latest information on this attack, please visit our web hosting status page.
