what is the IP address on that site - you post shows a range of [ 89.107.187.0 ] through [ 89.107.187.255 ] (CIDR 89.107.187.0/24) ?

I dont have that at this point, it was several IP addresses within that range all at once, and i just checked the one which returned that info.

It does look like someone is either using a proxy or a bot to access your site via a web host. It is quite the norm to see such IPs show up.

Ok, thanks didnt want any North Korean Spys, slipping in

Something I forgot to mention:

These sorts of bots most of the time would attempt attacks. This happens everywhere and fortunately they appear to fail majority of the time. This can be code injection in attempt to get the server your site is on to download a malicious file from their end to yours.

I once ended up having FTP details logged from one attacker (mod_security2 was installed on my VPS at the time and it logged the attack along with the exact commands they were attempting) and now I have access to a server mainly hosting IRC bots and PHP shells.
I also had fun with messing around with file/folder permissions (so that they cannot be downloaded in attacks) and deleting nasty stuff to save others. Probably not the greatest idea to log into the FTP account but no bad is coming from it at all and there is hope that they do not have access or check any FTP logs. Haha.

Again, it is perfectly normal and like SSH bruteforce attempts, they happen all the time without knowledge. As long as you try to keep your site secure, you have little to none to worry about.
