127.0.0.1 is the loopback (or "home" in the joke). If you attempt to navigate there, your computer uses the network card to talk to itself.
10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 is the class A local area network range meaning anything within the closest router/firewall. So anything with an IP of 10.x.x.x is directly accessible to whatever device you are using, thus vulnerable to various attacks.

I block 10./24 from each other.. the key is they won't route outside local, so it's basically a guarantee anything you find there is also your problem. Networking is weird.
