Wordpress Brute Frorce Attacks

I am going to use this for advertisement lol Its a good thing all the hosting community reacted so swiftly and the damage is minimal.

I have been monitoring our clients and apart from a couple of cases most of the clients are safe (in percentage it is close to 0%).

I am very happy to see when even the competition joins forces in such cases

How do you monitor it?

[yav0r]

In Wordfence it is in Live traffic -> Logins & Logouts tab.

I've been blocking ip addresses with .htaccess, but my list is growing! I'm worried about affecting performance. Do you think having too many "Deny from xx.xx.xx.xx"'s in my .htaccess will have a negative affect on performance? Is there any other way to block? I know you can do it with httpd.conf.. but I don't think we have access to that.
