In case you notice a major increase in the traffic to your site and in case after you check the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from countries around the world or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Those pieces of software go through random Internet sites trying to log in to their admin area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any article where this type of an option is made available. The fact is that, that is something quite common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your Internet site in any way. Certainly, you may block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.
