In case you notice a significant increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and if after you check the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from locations around the world or from other web servers, your website is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random Internet sites looking to log in to their administration area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments below every article where this kind of an option is made available. However, that's something relatively popular lately, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots will be unable to access your Internet site in any way. Naturally, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.
