Improve your Google ranking with Peter Mahoney, 20+ years SEO & Wordpress experience
Products I sell (known as “Hourlies”) through PeoplePerHour:
Google cache’s sites when it indexes them, meaning if you want to look at a page that doesn’t change all that often, you can easily take a look if the original site is down/slow to load.
It’s really easy. Simply add the URL you want to access (including the http://) after this:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:
So, for example: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://petermahoney.net will return the latest cached version of my homepage.
Easy, and useful!

(More information on the attack is below the video).
Basically a large network of “zombie”, or “botnet” computers is being used to find WordPress sites, and then try thousands of passwords to gain access as the “admin” user. Now, since the default setting for all WordPress sites is to have an “admin” user, this attack is going to affect a lot of people.
WordPress has been attacked by a botnet of “tens of thousands” of individual computers since last week, according to server hosters Cloudflare and Hostgator.
The botnet targets WordPress users with the username “admin”, trying thousands of possible passwords.
