Report for IP: 40.87.20.23

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.

• 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.
• 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.

Several independent community lists agree on this address.

This IP requested a .env file (or a variant like .env.local, .env.production) — files that commonly contain database credentials, API keys, and other secrets for a web application. No legitimate visitor ever requests this path; it is exclusively probed by attackers hunting for leaked configuration.

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.

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.
