I just found this in my htaccess file and it may be a related problem.
<Files xmlrpc.php>
Require ip 88.207.52.241
require ip 88.207.52.241
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
Anyone else seen this? Help please. The IP is totally unknown, originates from half way around the world. Definitely suspicious and my WF scans aren’t completing.
