Attack Analysis
WordPress XML-RPC Abuse
This IP targeted xmlrpc.php, a legacy WordPress endpoint that has been abused for brute-force authentication attacks, credential stuffing, and DDoS amplification. Any direct access to xmlrpc.php is an attack or reconnaissance attempt; modern WordPress sites should disable it entirely.
WordPress: Brute Force Attack
This IP was blocked attempting to log into a WordPress site's wp-login.php — either from a disallowed country or after exceeding the allowed number of failed login attempts. Automated credential-stuffing and brute-force tools account for the overwhelming majority of this traffic; legitimate users rarely trigger a hard IP block on login alone.
