This was all for pages that my website does not have which even included Yahoo news articles. My website currently only has one single news page and not a three level deep structure.
What became even more odd is this search for sign_up, signup, link-resources, register, join, member, membership and other files and folders like that. Not a single one of these requests was actually for a page on my website since I had everything else renamed for logging reasons.
The user agent of one of these page not found cases is:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Baiduspider/2.0; +http://www.baidu.com/search/

I'm having the same problem. Baiduspider is clearly scanning looking for exploits. They disguise it as a supposed-to-be webcrawler but its real activity is to look for some kind of exploit to attack servers. There must be some authority this can be denounced to?
