WordPress xmlrpc.php is now blocked

[Xepher]

Several sites were being massively hammered by attacks focused on the obsolete xmlrpc.php interface to WordPress. That file is now blocked server wide, and cpu use fell from 80% to 1%.

I don't believe anyone was legitimately using this feature. If I'm wrong about that, please contact me and we can look into solutions.

In the meantime, please, please update your WordPress installs (and keep them up to date!)
