I noticed that I keep getting new user registrations from the same domain.  They are using the WP login panel to setup new accounts.  I keep deleting the accounts but they register again with a different name associated with the same domain.

 

1)  Is there a plugin that blocks user registrations?

2)  I am concerned that they may have installed a script to divert traffic.  How can I verify if this is the case?

 

Thanks!

Why do you have new user registrations? It sounds fishy, but you should turn it off in general.

Go to Wordpress Settings > General and uncheck Anyone can register
