 * I’m using IPBC on multiple sites most of which are at WP 4.3.1. In the past, 
   I would get alert emails that would look like this –
 * 111.111.111.111 blacklisted on [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com)
   due to failed login attempts on following condition:
 * Attempts: 5 (max)
    Time for max attempts: 60 Total attempts made: 5
 * Failed Attempts Details (Max 5)
    log => aaaaaa pwd => stupid Mozilla/5.0 (Windows
   NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 Jul 11, 2015 ———————————————
   log => aaaaa pwd => internet
 * etc.
 * But now, I am getting ones like this –
 * 45.79.131.88 blacklisted on [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) 
   due to failed login attempts on following condition:
 * Attempts: 3 (max)
    Time for max attempts: 30 Total attempts made: 151
 * Failed Attempts Details (Max 5)
    –user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux 
   x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0 Nov 12, 2015 ——————————————— –user-
   agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/
   39.0 Nov 12, 2015 ———————————————
 * etc.
 * Others contain this kind of thing –
 * Failed Attempts Details (Max 5)
 *  \”1.0\”?>
    system.multicall
 *  methodName
    wp.getCategories params
 * And what’s especially curious is that I get 100 of them in 1 minutes ALL with
   the same blacklisted IP.
 * Can you tell me what’s up with this?

 * Hi,
 * These are XML brute force attempts and I am not being able to block that attack.
   
   In new WP version, they have updated security please check and update your WordPress.
