If your site's been online for a while — and judging by its stats, it has been! — then it's no doubt become a target for bots looking for vulnerabilities. It happens to just about every site, and it entails bots attempting to access a variety of URLs that are known to be part of weaknesses in various software. They do this repeatedly, hitting a variety of URLs, in the hopes that something they do works to give them some sort of access to your site.

You can mitigate a lot of these bad actors by using a tool like Jeff Starr's 8G Firewall, a tool which amounts to a bunch of directives that you add to your site's .htaccess file. It's free, so check it out if you think it might help.
