If you see a significant increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you look into the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from places across the globe or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random websites attempting to log in to their admin area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where such an option is offered. The fact is that, that's something relatively frequent nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots will be unable to access your website in any way. Naturally, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.
