oddity in 404 logs

    Strange situation here.
    Under Pages Not Found there are several listings of China’s Baiduspider looking for http://www.domain.com/toy-cars etc etc. (not the real domain name of course. Just an example.) Now this site has NOTHING to do with toys whatsoever.

    On a side note (related or not, I have no clue) the owner is having trouble logging in from her IP and getting a message about her ip being blocked by the server (not in Wordfence.) This might be something to do with WP Security (also installed) or it might be totally unrelated.

    But I find these strange pages being sought suspicious, given that there is NO correlation to anything on the site. Is this a sign of something nefarious or nothing to worry about.
