I'm having bots whatever try to gain acces via /cgi-bin/ and of course the same stuff your seeing in your logs. Even trying to gain direct access via /wp-admin/ which btw I have a htaccess file which only allows direct access via my static IP 
Of you have a static IP it's a good idea to add a htaccess to it:
EG -
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from(add your static IP).
I'd also recommend protecting individual files such as these in your root htaccess:

Code:
<Files xmlrpc.php>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
# Prevents people gaining access to your folders to see which files are there.
Options All -Indexes
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
<Files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
