In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your site and in case after you check the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations across the world or from other servers, your site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random websites trying to log in to their administration area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where this type of an option is made available. The fact is that, this is something rather popular in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots shall 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 particular countries to access your Internet site.
