Attack Analysis
WordPress: Author Enumeration
This IP probed the WordPress ?author= parameter to enumerate valid usernames, feeding a list of real accounts into subsequent credential-stuffing attacks. Pure reconnaissance with no legitimate use case.
Backup & Database File Probe
This IP requested common backup file paths (.bak, .sql, .zip, wp-config.bak), hunting for database dumps or config files containing plaintext credentials. A single exposed wp-config.bak can hand an attacker full database access. This attack is automated and deliberate.
