 * I’m so sick of xmlrpc.php I could throw my computer out the window. Finally got
   fed up with thousands of xmlrpc attacks cluttering up my Wordfence blocking log.
   Requested hosting company to block at server level. They had it done in 30 seconds.
   By by xmlrpc, perhaps the most bogus thing that WordPress ever foisted on us.

 * Hi [@mountainguy2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mountainguy2/),
 * I’m glad you were able to block it!
 * Do you have a question regarding Wordfence?

 * Just contributing ideas, as I suspect there are other folks getting massive xmlrpc
   bot attacks. MTN
