Actually way more than 6 attempts. I made a quick and dirty edit to the
firewall and blocked the entire CIDR 87.236.215.0/24

I don't see any usernames/domains in the log file, thus my confusion
about if it is a hack or a whacked out server. Now this is something I
could see setting up fail2ban to block.
