My guess is someone in Korea port-scanned you, but that othan that, no idea.

A lot of the freely available whois have usage restrictions so that they can't be hit over and over again looking for a domain registration to lapse, or by automated processes looking for unregistered domains. So they probably keep track of how often you've used it.

Thanks, I guess it's my rampant paranoia that makes it seem like everyone's out to get me..... or is it?
