If you see a large increase in the traffic to your site and if after you look into the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations across the world or from other web servers, your website is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such pieces of software go through random sites looking to log in to their administrator area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where such an option is provided. The fact is that, that's something rather common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your website in any way. Needless to say, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your website.
