No, they are on noticed on some personal sites of mine ... (honeypots ;0))
On our main company websites they amount to 0.00785% of referrers (this week). For reason of the minuscule number of hits, I have more important things to have our network guys look into. I see more unusual (concerning) exploits all the time.
We don't use Apache.
I still think this may be more than attempting to block the ''Bogeyman."
Perhaps consequential, there is a cross match of Facebook referrals for(links)/to the domains I found affected. Before we go down the road of "Facebook is Evil!" it may be that this bot is scraping links from Facebook and reaching the domains affected?
