Could you give us more information on as to why you feel your web site security might be at risk because of this?  Also, if you could give us an example URL and/or let us know what types of scripts or services you might have installed on the hosting account and that would help narrow down what you might need to do.

Thank you for your response.

Our site ( www.coastliners.org ) is primarily driven by Joomla (1.5.14).

I have backed up the site and enabled the maintenance page.  I have also used the IP Deny Manager to block a range of IP addresses.

Based on my initial analysis, I do not feel like anything on our site was compromised, but I am not usfficiently versed in web security to know.

As I write this the hits from the particular IPs has ceased.
