Attack Analysis

WordPress XML-RPC Abuse
This IP accessed xmlrpc.php on a site where the owner has explicitly disabled it. xmlrpc.php is a legacy WordPress endpoint long abused for brute-force login attempts (via its multicall method) and DDoS pingback amplification; sites that don't need it disable it outright, making any access attempt inherently unwanted.
Listed on 2 threat-intelligence blocklists
  • FireHOL level2 — FireHOL level2 lists addresses seen attacking in the last 48 hours across many sensors. It is large and volatile: addresses enter and leave quickly, so on its own this is weaker, recent-activity evidence.
  • This site (WordPress attackers, 90 days) — This site's own data: an IP that attacked WordPress sites and was reported here within the last 90 days. Independent of the third-party lists above.
Several independent community lists agree on this address.
