 * I have read through it. I have locked down my /wp-admin folder using .htaccess.
   I have used bruteprotect and all in one wp security. But the problem still persists.
   So my question is, is this legit traffic or an ongoing attack?
 * The only way so far I am able to stop it is by using a firewall in front of the
   webserver and blocking the IPs generating the traffic.
