Every server on the Internet is probed automatically by numerous actors, both whitehat and blackhat, states, companies and individuals. Servers are often also probed by security researchers.

As long as your security is up to scratch then these failed attempts are not worth losing sleep over.

I am not sure you understand that this happens all the time, everywhere. It's not unusual, it's often not targeted.

For example, malicious activity using headless Chrome is spiking, see the article below.
