 My site CONTOELPESO.COM is being targeted by some spammers I believe in
 Russia and they have been perfoming DoS attacks on my wordpress. My VPS
 company said that they have targeted the wordpress not the server, I was
 wondering if there was sort of known bug that you guys know that allows
 people to cause this to wordpress
