If you're worried, use a checker such as
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html to verify the robustness of
your server. It may be that, with new attacks such as BEAST and CRIME,
people are probing your server for vulnerabilities. If you get a good
rating on the tests, then you can be assured that those "knocks on the
door" won't get through.
