If ur domain is registered in your name then perhaps they looking up that domain reg and using info there to attack.

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...

@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.
