Hey guys, after having 19000 failed admin login attempts by a hacker yesterday, I am working on stepping up security. I have added RS Firewall to automatically ban after X failed admin login attempts.
I was wondering if anyone in this great community has suggestions for how to add more security to joomla or to my server (I have root access and virtualmin)? Any way of changing the Joomla /administrator url?
I would ideally like to avoid using Google's 2 Step Verification at first...
I notice that here on stackideas.com you have added an extra login step, how did you achieve that? is it easy to add that extra security layer?
