: Bots inside chrome v31? I am currently running a wordpress site with the plugin "Wassup" installed. In the last time I have registered around 30 users per day that call /wp-login.php on my webpage.

I am currently running a wordpress site with the plugin "Wassup" installed.
In the last time I have registered around 30 users per day that call /wp-login.php on my webpage. And all of them always use Chrome 31 and even worse everyone uses a different IP, no IP occurs twice (at least not within a day)

The plugin "Better WP security" does not block them.

So I am wondering if Chrome 31 may have a plugin or something, that is used for hacking purposes without the knowledge of the people using it?

Has any one seen the same?

It is likely that this is a case of user agent spoofing. If a hacker has written a bot try try to exploit WordPress by testing the /wp-login.php script, they are likely to make it appear as if the requests came from some legitimate browser. Requests that look like they are from bots are often blocked by things like your security plugin.
