Under attack how? When my site was PR5, so many auto-password-hackers ran against it from Friday evening to Sunday evening that it wouldn’t load.
A blank white page would appear with “Database Connection Error”.
The way we stopped that was to protect the default WordPress login page with a pop-up and another username and password.
If they can’t get to the login page, they can’t continually hammer it trying to hack the password.
Hi! A small update. What I’ve ended up doing is not to update my website. I don’t mean its software ( the software as I’ve said on another thread is veeeery updated! 
) but its content. I don’t show my latest artworks on my website. I’ve print them in booklets available in physical form at the galleries that I exhibit my artworks that can show them to their customers.
That because whatever artworks I have on my website are already stolen, they were stolen by day one. But I have already moved forward, I have evolved my painting style and I have no intention to feed with it the AI beast.
In other words I went back to a more analog mode. At the end of the day that is what artists used to do when there was no internet. They worked with catalogues and exhibitions.
