Every day, here at Sfida.PRO and SfidaBiznesi.com we look at logs and issues faced by the growing number websites we host and manage for our clients. The fact is that our own websites face these same issues, so we're using our own screenshots to share about this issue(s).

Most website owners never see it, but 'brute force' attacks are happening all the time. These silent, automated site attacks constantly try to break into websites by guessing passwords or exploiting weak logins. Even though you don’t notice them, these threats are real and growing especially thanks to AI solutions. Most importantly, they can serve as an easy indicator of the growing number of threats faced by your website today. 

What Are Brute Force Attacks?

Brute force attacks use automated bots to try thousands of password combinations in seconds. Attackers target login pages, admin panels, and APIs, hoping to find a weak spot. Their goal? To break in and take control.
