 * Hi [@edivantrev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edivantrev/), thanks for
   your message.
 * If requests are hitting 404s they may be coming from a bot with malicious intent
   but these are likely done in a hit-and-hope manner without knowing the platform,
   plugins and other details in advance. The fact they’re hitting a 404 means whatever
   they’re trying to do isn’t succeeding, so Wordfence might consider blocking these
   based on your [Rate Limiting](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/rate-limiting/)
   settings if they try an excessive amount of times in a short period.
 * Ultimately, referers can be spoofed so it’s unlikely in my opinion that binance.
   com is actually the source of the requests unless you have a plugin like [Binance Pay](https://wordpress.org/plugins/binance-pay/)
   for WooCommerce that’d explain why their site might be trying to contact yours.
   We don’t necessarily recommend a manual blocking regime as URLs and IPs can be
   hard to keep up with, so Wordfence should protect you if any of these requests
   ever warrant any action. Having said this, you could try a **Custom Pattern**
   based on the referer on the **Wordfence > Blocking** page if you wish.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.

 * Hi Peter,
 * I don’t use any plugins related to Binance or cryptocurrencies, so they are probably
   trying to impersonate this company.
 * I’ll consider your suggestion to limit access attempts.
 * Thanks
   Ed
