ATT: Stinking maggot who's trying to break into my website!

There are no users on my website. Not even an administrator. wp_admin is empty. Best of luck!

    @FuckJava This is even more interesting then... Social engineering perhaps?

    Maybe some crosslink from LinkedIn or Twitter or so?

    On my site, the topmost 404 is wp-login.php - and it has never been using WP because initially, I didn't know enough to use WP, and then I knew enough not to use WP.

    @Fast-Nop Yeah, when I updated my linkedin to my current employer I started getting spammed at my work email. I figured it must be because they harvest my name and figure out the email address from that. So I misspelled my linked in and the spam died down. Yeah, if I had known I would have asked work to use a different name for my email. Too late now...

    @catgirl Maybe. Still, they write their JVM in C, and not in Java

    You won't be able to link my Twitter or Linked-In profile to DevRant.

    @Root I have something like that in my website. If a login is not successful I add their IP address to HTACCESS immediately. This lady/gentleman is using my real name from different IP addresses.

    I've been having fun with umbraco. I'm learning a new stack to be fair... Anyhow no wp-admin folder.

    @FuckJava can you trace the ip address, there are some services that will give you the exact address from an IP look up. I mention it because these so called hackers don't seem very sophisticated and are probably people that you know who have limited technical skills.

    Wait, what if you built or used a time machine in the future. Your future self it trying to hack your website to tell you something and you keep blocking your future self. Thus causing a time loop that will never end.
