This actually reminds me of an episode that happened to me many years ago. Back then, it was "web anonymizers" (not VPN providers) that were all the rage. These programs would maintain a database of open proxies, and route peoples' web activity through those proxies.
Well, I had Apache misconfigured just long enough to get picked up by one of these apps. For years afterward, my server logs were chock full of attempts at logging into various accounts via HTTP. I seriously had thousands of Yahoo! username/password pairs just sitting in plaintext inside my server logs.
