> 
> ## Our Software
> 
> Limit Login Attempts Reloaded is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance the security
> of your WordPress website by limiting the number of login attempts a user can 
> make. It helps prevent brute-force attacks, where an attacker tries to gain unauthorized
> access to your website by repeatedly guessing usernames and passwords

## Our Mission

Our mission is to empower website owners and administrators with an effective security
solution that mitigates the risk of unauthorized access, enhances user authentication,
and safeguards WordPress websites from brute-force attacks. We are committed to 
providing a robust and user-friendly plugin that helps protect our clients’ digital
assets, promotes a secure online environment, and fosters trust in the WordPress
community

## Our Story

> 
> ##### Discovery
> 
> In 2014, co-founder **Alex Benko** owned and operated a large hosting company 
> that encountered persistent challenges stemming from brute force attacks.
> During this period, a plugin known as “**Limit Login Attempts**” existed to aid
> in website protection.
> Unfortunately, the plugin’s author discontinued updates in 2019, prompting Alex
> and his lead developer, Guriy Harborov, to embark on the development of an updated
> iteration—**Limit Login Attempts Reloaded**.

> 
> ##### Development
> 
> The plugin swiftly garnered attention from notable hosting companies, such as **
> GoDaddy**, who recognized its efficacy in safeguarding their websites.
> By **2021**, the number of active users had surpassed **2 million**, parallel 
> to the escalation in the severity of attacks.
> As a result, in **2020**, the team introduced a premium offering aimed at providing
> an additional layer of protection.

> 
> ##### Planning
> 
> **Greg Fisher** joined forces with **Alex **and **Guriy**, assuming responsibility
> for marketing and user expansion.
> Leveraging Amazon cloud technology, the plugin employs advanced IP intelligence
> capabilities to identify, counteract, and deny suspicious IP addresses.
> Within a relatively brief span of time, the company has successfully cultivated
> a premium subscriber base exceeding **5,000**.
> Their primary objective remains centered on establishing their position as the
> preeminent login security plugin within the **WordPress **ecosystem.
