For now this is the best answer I can find, but I'm hoping for a better solution out there somewhere. functions.php: function Remove_Unneeded_XMLRPC( $methods ) { unset( $methods['wp.getUsersBlogs'] ); return $methods; } add_filter( 'xmlrpc_methods', 'Remove_Unneeded_XMLRPC' ); found this at: http://www.cryptobells.com/more-wordpress-xmlrpc-brute-force-attacks/ After having another attack this weekend, I am implementing this fix and will post any updates I find.
