Protect your blogs from automated (and manual) hack attempts at the most basic level... I hope my article on Wordpress hacking protection helps you. Ever had your WordPress blog hacked? The amount of damage is immense for the site owner, from downtime, loss of income, the effort required to restore, recover, and fix the damage done, as well as the disappointment of your readers come into play. That’s assuming that you even have a copy of your database to restore from to begin with, if not, the damage is even worse! You may think that your site doesn’t get hacked at all since you never see anything unusual happening to your site, but you’d be surprised with how many attempts of hacking there are on your site account. http://www.learnnichemarketing.com/easy-steps-to-protect-wordpress-blog-from-hacking-attempts/

Yes it helped a lot. I think i might be able to stop spammers by the same way. I am having some problems with spam posts lately.
The main steps should be to update WP, plugins and themes regularly and make sure you aren't installing fishy plugins/themes. Protect the admin directory with password too. (not referring to the WP admin login pass)
