I am far from a security expert but this looks like trying to hack. Am I correct?

I will:
ban the IP addresses.
remove the posts.
anything else?


thanks in advance for your answers.

More than likely just normal (Is spam normal?) spam posts.

Yeah they're likely just spam bots. They happen on forums all the time. See the doc relating to spam to combat this. http://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/spam/

Thanks you. There is much to it. good article.
thanks

We had a _LOT_ of spam coming from Korea at one point a couple of months ago. They'd hit 30+ posts in no time and disable our Purge Spammer button.
