We have been getting number of attack reports from clients with Wordpress installs and further investigating we found a global attacks on wordpress.
Right now there is a very severe and global attack on all Wordpress sites on the Internet and almost all hosting providers are affected.

As the IP’s are spoofed, blocking the IP’s does not help much.
