Let me introduce you to the concept of defence in depth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_in_depth_(computing) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_in_depth_(computing) Really, the longer a website is online, the more it attracts bots. Spam bots, brute-force login attempting bots, information gathering bots, vulnerability testing bots, and many more. This isn't even counting targeted attacks. I've seen many small websites recieve much more bot traffic than user traffic. Sometimes to a crippling level. My point is, it's not paranoia if they really are after you - even if it's a mindless mass of bots. Like all security though, sometimes you affect legitimate users. This is why it's great to have multiple ways they can provide feedback.
