If you see a large increase in the traffic to your Internet site and if after you look at the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from countries across the world or from other web servers, your site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Those pieces of software go through random Internet sites looking to log in to their administrator area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any article where this kind of an option is provided. The fact is that, that's something relatively popular nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots won't be able to access your site in any way. Needless to say, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.
