If you see a considerable increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and in case after you look at the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from locations all over the world or from other servers, your Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random websites seeking to log in to their admin area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under every article where this sort of an option is made available. Regrettably, that is something quite common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will not be able to access your Internet site in any way. Needless to say, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your website.
