The usual script kiddies running stuff looking for exploits in badly written commercial or free scripts. On the plus side they usually do less damage than some who find the exploits, warning your to fix shit. On the minus side anyone doing that sort of crap needs hitting with a lump of 2 x 4.

The most annoying thing is the exploits usually found should never exist and are simply down to very poor coding. Often simply not checking includes which anybody writing commercial scripts should never leave out.

These days (without a budget for custom stuff) it's hard to run a good site without a few scripts. It's just so fucking annoying people can't take simple security precautions in their code especially when it's something you pay good $ for.
