Even my tiny site (it isn’t running WordPress, and doesn’t even have a landing page because I only use it for my own stuff) sees a ton of attempted Wordpress attacks.

I’ve spent a few years at the height of the blog trend doing WordPress work. It’s a very poorly designed app that has always put reliability/performance/security last and prioritized extensibility and low barrier of entry. Which is why they absolutely dominated the blog world but also why it’s such a big fat juicy target.
