The post was suggesting common practices to lock down your WordPress. The harder you make it, the more likely they will move on. Again thank you! I appreciate the input.

Your suggestions though, are for general protections. The kind of problems you mention, are not detectable by the WP Security Scan. For the first threat, SQL injection, the WordPress core is not vulnerable. So, one must be very careful on what plugins he installs. For the brute force attacks, the at most measure is a secure, long, complex and often changed password. Don't get me wrong here, i am not pointing a finger at you ;) I would like to point out that you start your post saying about SQL injections and brute force attacks.

I also use login lockdown to try and stop brute force attacks from http://www.bad-neighbourhood.com/login-lockdown.html . I have to admit the amount of hits on /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php is scary.
