I understand that someone is trying to hack the site?
How to protect yourself?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Well, you can say you defended yourself. The config is configured so that these files would not be given.
And most likely not someone "hacks" the site, but something, a bot, you should not worry.

Answer 2

This is some school trying to find the presence of a readable file with passwords. It's best to score - especially if such files are not there and cannot be :) If it pollutes the logs or eats the processor - well, ban by IP :)
