    Hi! This morning I saw an entry in the “Live Traffic” log that showed the Wordfence Security Network blocked a hacking attempt:

    United States Mountain View, United States left http://www.{mysite}.com/wp-login.php and was blocked by Wordfence Security Network at http://www.{mysite}.com/wp-login.php
1/12/2017 4:21:21 AM (3 hours 34 mins ago)   IP: 130.211.131.4 [unblock]   Hostname: 4.131.211.130.bc.googleusercontent.com
Browser: Chrome version 0.0 running on Win7
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.89 Safari/537.36

    The reason I’m posting this is I was surprised to see this IP address resolve to a machine in a Google domain. I understand it’s part of the “Google Cloud” and not one of Google’s bots or crawlers or anything.

    So, my question is: would the Wordfence Security Network ever block an IP address in a Google.com domain (that was legitimately in a Google.com domain)?

    Thanks!

    Peace…
