[Tfug] New Attacks?

[Jim Secan]

There's either a new beastie roaming around out there, or an old one just
found my site.  In the last three days I've had a sudden flurry of attempts
to POST to a range of cgi scripts on my apache server (none of which I
have, so nothing happens).  The typical pattern is to get 10-15 of these in
a few seconds, all from different IP addresses.  This recurs two or three
times an hour.  So far there's no problem on my end other than the
annoyance of filling up my access and error logs and eating at bandwidth,
but I could see something like this escalate.  Anyone else seeing activity
similar to this on their apache servers?
