Looking through cpanel, I see lots of the following: /wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/travesti-rmvb-download.html Http Code: 404 Date: Sep 30 13:54:38 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 323 Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) /wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/catherine-bosley-video.html Http Code: 404 Date: Sep 30 13:54:56 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 323 Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) /wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/sedap-main-pantat.html Http Code: 404 Date: Sep 30 13:55:07 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 318 Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) /wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/beach-volleyball-oops.html Http Code: 404 Date: Sep 30 13:55:16 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 322 Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) /wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/download-transcender-ccna-exam-rapid.html Http Code: 404 Date: Sep 30 13:56:09 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 337 Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) /news/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/WP/kiss-with-a-fist.html Http Code: 404 Date: Sep 30 14:00:37 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 317 Referer: - Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) Or can anyone explain what is happening?

I don't think it's an activity of hacking.But you'd better check it carefully and strengthen the protection of your website.By the way,make sure the links on your website work well.It may also caused by the network problem.
This looks like an automated probe to see if any of those files exist. Anyone can spoof their agent to say it's Googlebot. See http://www.smart-it-consulting.com/internet/google/googlebot-spoofer/ You probably want to lockdown a few of your Wordpress settings to prevent spammers and unwanted robots. Consider editing your robots.txt file, and .htaccess, and web server file permission levels, and a few more ideas from the following blog post about Wordpress security. http://www.root777.com/wordpress/wordpress-security-tips-to-protect-your-wordpress-blog/ Keep an eye on your logs and be proactive about blocking anything you feel is strange or unfamiliar.
