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.
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.
