Comment (by ridinhighspeeds):

 I recently posted #48182 as our multisite network was recently under a
 heavy brute force attack.. The attacks were hitting all types of url's,
 not the standard www.mysite.com/wp-admin url. I assume this helps the
 attacker avoid getting noticed by typical security plugins, as those
 plugins probably monitor the www.mysite.com/wp-admin, not www.mysite.com/i
 -dont-exist/wp-admin or www.mysite.com/i-dont-exist-222/wp-admin etc...
