This was blocked due to infection long ago - I hope it has since been healed, so I am unblocking it now ;)

Warning User Enumeration is possible
The first two user ID's were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.

ID   User   Login
1   worker   worker
2   Harry Braun   harryb
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.

Vulnerable Library used :

Really bad IP history :
https://www.virustotal.com/en/ip-address/107.180.40.107/information/

Over 10.000(!) blacklisted urls on that ASN :

Things to do :
1] Step away from shared hosting and GoDaddy
2] Fix the vulnerable library problem
3] Setup Wordpress more secure

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!
