 * Hi,
 * We seem to be getting a lot of 404 errors in variations, as seen in the screenshots
   below, on our clients websites.

 * We’ve managed to fix some of the 404 errors but are still getting floods of them
   every day.
 * Just wanted to check if there is anything we should be concerned/worried about
   with the 404 errors shown in the screenshots. Or if there is anything we could
   do to prevent being spammed with them.
 * Thanks,
    Jamie

 * I had the same issue this morning and when I click the links, I get 404 error
   messages and not redirection. Doesn’t this plugin offer a redirection for all
   404 messages and not individually as well?

 * Jamie, it’s just bots probing your site for vulnerabilities. There’s nothing 
   really you can do about it – just make sure you aren’t vulnerable to anything!

 * No, a 404 should be a 404 unless it really is something that used to exist and
   now exists somewhere else.
