title: Is there a legitimate reason Amazon probes /admin
body: <p>From my raw server logs, I found these:</p>
  
  <pre>
  52.42.136.103    02/Aug/2016:17:58:12    GET /administrator/
  54.234.186.225   03/Aug/2016:16:48:55    GET /administrator/
  54.149.57.2  04/Aug/2016:18:40:55    GET /administrator/
  52.40.119.32     06/Aug/2016:09:34:37    GET /administrator/
  52.40.119.32     08/Aug/2016:06:02:45    GET /administrator/
  </pre>
  
  <p>The ip's all belong to Amazon Technologies (and I don't have an /admin directory).</p>
  
  <p>I'm used to seeing that kind of random probe thing (/wp-admin, /wp-blog/, /dir, ... ) from Russia and Vietnam and so on, and I've always assumed there was some nefarious motive behind it. Is there? Why would Amazon be doing that? Is Jeff Bezos out of control?</p>
