It's called hacking. Nothing to worry about if you're running nettalk.

Yeah, I see that all the time. They're just scanning to see if there's something the can potentially use to get in or take over or whatever. But as they don't find anything useful (for them) they just move on.

It's worth pointing out that these aren't really "humans" doing this. Automated programs are scanning the net for vulnerabilities all the time. Security is a process, not an event, and is one of the reasons that staying updated is important.
I'll be talking about this a bit more in next week's NT8 release.
