Attack Analysis

Backup & Database File Probe
This IP requested common backup file paths (.bak, .sql, .zip, wp-config.bak), hunting for database dumps or config files containing plaintext credentials. A single exposed wp-config.bak can hand an attacker full database access. This attack is automated and deliberate.
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.
