JIRA ticket - https://dfedigital.atlassian.net/browse/FB-270
Sometimes we get bots trying to hack into the app by trying common vulnerable endpoints like Wordpress admin urls.
These can quickly generate a large number of errors which get logged in Rollbar and use up all our usage quota.
We could filter these from Rollbar but ideally we should just block bot requests.
