Perhaps they are a spammer or have been attempting to break into the site to vandalize it. This can be done very quickly through your Drupal 7 admin dashboard. Log into your Drupal 7 Dashboard Go to Configuration Click IP address blocking, located under the People category. Type in the IP address to block and click Add. Now, when a visitor with that IP address visits your website, they will see the message “Sorry, 141.0.10.182 has been banned.” If you need to at a later time, you can also unblock IP addresses.
