If you see a significant increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you check the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations around the world or from other servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Those pieces of software go through random websites attempting to log in to their administration area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any sort of article where this sort of an option is offered. Unfortunately, this is something rather frequent in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots will not be able to access your website in any way. Naturally, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your Internet site.
