  Hi,

  Dutch media have been reporting about the Dorifel botnet spreading malware and viruses. Authorities have advised to block some IP adresses affiliated with this particular botnet, in order to keep systems clean.

  What protection does WordPress.com offer regarding this threat? Should I block IP adresses manually and how do I do that? Big hand for whoever helps me out here! :D

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We have a stellar systems team that take care of all things related to threats and security. Dorifel only occurs on computers running Microsoft Word and Excel. As our servers not running that, there’s nothing to worry about.
