There is a very unusual, possibly suspicious activity, such as an attempt to attack our website. Basically, the wp-admin URI is the resource to access the WordPress blog admin console. However, in our case, the website is not a WordPress blog.

New WordPress users may not have the knowledge to either change or disable the admin console on their site, and might also use the default user/password. So, my guess here is that the user agent tried to connect to the wp-admin resource and issue the default credentials to take total control of our website.
