WordPress Timely App Getting Hammered

Yesterday I was unable to access my server. Had the hosting company restart Apache and was able to get in. Apache status reported 99% of the slots filled by IPs from around the world executing calendar commands. Before the hacker was able to fill the slots, I disabled the app. That took care of things. Later in the day I enabled the app and today the same thing just happened again….the host doubled the slots, but I knew that wasn’t the solution as it appears that this hacker has more IPs that Carter has Liver Pills.

Since my site is event oriented, the Timely app is a critical component. I am running security apps, but that don’t seem able to detect the hacking. When I am able to get back in and once again, disable the plug-in, what else can I do.

Help please
