hi, everybody

recently, I found that a particular user always has the request in the query string "Get \Servlet\com.ec.ercbroker.servlets.PingServlet". The user send the request almost every day. In each day, it sends the request very few minutes.
the status code of the ‘GET’ is 302 Which means the uri has been removed. the error message in our log file is:
“404;[url]http://66.151.158.177:80/servlet/co...Servlet”however[/url], "66.151.158.177" is NOT our ip address. the question is: why the GET errors for another web site (66.151.158.177) are sent to us? are they trying to hack our system? how to prevent this?

thank you! looking forward to your answer.
