It does appear that there has been a break-in. Some kind of script was
running that was consuming all system resourses. At the time it was
running, it was also deleting log entries, so if I looked at the log and
searched for the time we brough the server up on the network, logs would
show no activity at that time. And that 72.x.x.x IP was probably bogus as
well.
Here's what I found in the httpd error log:

A bunch of these with other file names instead of borek.txt and other ips
as well.
