I take it these are robots trying to find my mysql database and hack into it? My sites only been live for 3 weeks....is this kinda thing normal? Obviously phpmyadmin can't be found where they are looking, but is it anything I should be concerned about?

Simon

Yeah, unfortunately that is normal, big and small sites get that kind of attack, I've never seen it actually work though.
