Report for IP: 168.196.236.195

This IP matched an entry on one of this site's local threat-intelligence blocklists (compiled from community-maintained abuse/attacker feeds) at the time of the request. Being listed on a reputation feed means other infrastructure has already independently observed and flagged this IP for malicious activity.

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.

• Spamhaus DROP — Spamhaus DROP lists netblocks hijacked or leased by professional spam and cybercrime operations. Very low false-positive rate: no legitimate traffic is expected from these ranges.
• FireHOL level1 — FireHOL level1 merges DShield, Spamhaus DROP, bogon ranges and Feodo botnet servers into one curated list built for very low false positives. When DShield or Spamhaus DROP also match, this one adds no independent evidence, since it already contains them.
• 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.

Curated, low-false-positive lists match, so this is a high-confidence bad address.

This IP is on the Spamhaus DROP list — a dataset of netblocks hijacked or leased by professional spam and cybercrime operations with no legitimate users. Traffic from DROP-listed ranges is considered hostile by design. Blocking is unconditional.
