Of hand, I might think that it was a "distributed attack" probably
harvesting email addresses off the web site, but it could also be
related to a server-based worm. Check your Request Report to find out
if any particular pages are getting a lot of traffic. Also check the
Failed Request report for worm attacks that don't get through.
