Site problems resulted from cyber attack

If you tried to access this site earlier this morning, you may not have been able to get through.

The server at my hosting service stopped responding, and as a result, you couldn’t get through and I couldn’t upload anything.

What I heard back was a bit unsettling. The server, it seems, was attacked.

There was a load issue on the server which hosts your sites, caused by a widespread brute force attack against WordPress installations on the server. At this time, the attack appears to have been mitigated and the server has stabilized. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

I guess I need to worry more about such things.

      Nope. And the server hosts a number of different websites, so the attack wasn’t aimed at ilind.net in particular.
