I have logs showing hit attempts against my servers on Saturday. Since
then we have had over 2000 attempts against our servers, and 5000+
attempts that bouced off the firewall as invalid requests.

The rate of hits is increasing and most are from unique IP addresses.

This tends to suggest the problem will get worse before it gets better, I
only worry that the volume of this rubbish may start impacting our users.

When will people learn ?

Cheers
Jason.
