Attack Analysis

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.
