 * hi! im using wordpress as a host for my website and recently been noticing that
   from the same overseas location the page getting a lot of views. It got suspicious
   when I checked with wp statistics, and it viewed as different IP addresses but
   at the same Geo locations are viewing specifically my wp-admin page, 30-40 times
   a day, which is quite worrying.
    I guess my question would be if personally I
   can do anything about this or where do I report such a thing?

 * Bots and hackers are always scanning sites looking for vulnerabilities. You could
   block the IP address range, but as you have noted, a network of compromised IP
   address are used so it’s playing catch up to try and block them. The best advice
   is to make sure your site is safe through following the advice in [hardening WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress),
   and then installing a good security firewall. The free [Ninja Firewall](http://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjafirewall/)
   is excellent, and full of additional security features such as login control 
   and real-time file guard monitoring. I also recommend using [Wordfence](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/)
   to scan your site daily and alert you to any changes or suspicious files.

 * Block the IP’s using one of the plugins Barnez mentioned.
