Some of the more technical around here may have read that there's a sustained attack on Wordpress sites happening at the moment. Fourtheye hasn't been effected at this stage, however I've taken the precaution of adding a plugin that limits multiple login attempts during a short period of time.

For those of you who actually remember your passwords, I don't expect this will be a problem, but just be aware that multiple login attempts may see you blocked from trying again for a short period of time (20 minutes to be exact).  If anyone is having persistent problems, then let me know.

 Most likely because it's popular and I presume poorly written in some way.

Nothing to worry about at this stage.  There's no evidence Fourtheye has been targetted at all, and Wordpress is a big enough organisation that I expect there has already been action taken to remedy the problem.
