ChinaNet (AS4134) is one of the highest-volume attack-originating ASNs globally, consistently ranking in SANS/DShield top-10 attacker lists.

Attack Analysis

Geo-Blocked Country
This IP was blocked purely based on its country of origin — the site owner has restricted access from this IP's geographic location due to a pattern of unwanted traffic from that region. This does not necessarily mean the specific IP itself has attacked anything; it reflects a blanket country-level policy.
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.
