If you see a major increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you check the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations all over the world or from other servers, your site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random Internet sites aiming to log in to their administration area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments below every article where this type of an option is offered. Unfortunately, that's something relatively 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. Needless to say, you may block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.
