As far as I have heared this is an 0day "exploit" which does nothing but
trying to bruteforce some accounts like "admin" "test" and so on with
passwords like "test" "1234" and i dont know what. 
Seems to be not too serious because noone actually has those account in
real life. ;)

Best wishes,
Christian
