Can you tell me more about what that means?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

It means that there's a cockbite in Holland with nothing better to do than bang away on our server by trying to log in under every possible generic username he can think of.

In order to log in with an existing username? And then what? Spam us in diguise?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not web stuff. They're trying to log into the server.
I doubt they care what kind of server -- they might be flexing scriptkiddy muscles, or hoping there's CC data or something lurking.

So they log into the server just to see what's there? Yick. Could the fuck with the code if they got in?
