   I use statcounter.com to track visitors. Since about 6 weeks I notice lots of visitor entries from San Antonio, Texas, United States WordPress.org from different IP Addresses:
   66.135.48.187
   72.233.96.147
   72.233.96.148
   69.170.134.170
   66.135.48.186
   66.135.48.203
   66.135.48.186

   Browser: Unknown
   OS: Unknown
   Resolution: 30720x768

   While I was writing this I noticed also entries from:

   Dallas, Texas, United States Layered Technologies
   IP Address:
   72.233.96.148
   72.233.96.147

   Browser: Unknown
   OS: Unknown
   Resolution: 30720x768

   Note that all entries are from unknown browsers with a strange resolution.

   Is that something I should be worried about? Could that be just a bot or perhaps hacking attempts?

   Any help or info would be much appreciated.

   In the meantime I'm also getting a lot of traffic from

   Plano, Texas, United States Layered Technologies (69.170.134.169)

   again with Browser: Unknown, OS: Unknown, Resolution: 30720x768

   Can anyone easy my mind and tell why I'm getting 100's of page views within seconds from the sources above?

   Layered Technologies appears to be a cloud hosting service. So my guess would be that someone hosted on their servers has a crawler script set up that is probably scraping your site for content. Since it's cloud hosting, you're seeing IPs from multiple servers, even though it's probably just one account that's doing it.

   Personally, I'd just block the IP range and be done with it.
