»PHPBB attack attempts«

Just wondering if I should be worried.
Some of the people over at PHP said not to worry, as I have 2.0.11 installed.
Me being paranoid when it comes to hackers and such wanted a second opinion.

In my log I have been getting the following:

This is obviously someone trying to put the santy worm on my system but they can't access the viewtopic.php - Correct? I don't know what to do

I have begun to look through my logs and found that this happens numerous times a DAY! And they are all from DIFFERENT IP addys!

Any suggestions? Or do I just do nothing because there is nothing I CAN do?

Yes, this is true. Since you have 2.0.11 installed you should not be worried.
