I would venture to say it's more along the lines of exploit bots hitting
the sever more than script kiddies.

I will take WP over Joomla any day.

WP is like Windows, it's pretty easy for a layman to use and update 
their content once it is setup for them and just about anything you want 
to do, there is a plugin for that. BUT, just like Windows if you are 
going to expose it to anything (like the Internet)  you need to make 
sure you take the proper security precautions.

A few simple things will keep all the script kiddies out: (most of these 
work with Joomla too by the way).

1. A decent .htaccess file.
2. Proper permissions on your files and folders (no chmod -R 777 bullshit).
3. Keeping up to date on patches and updates. (In the last year the WP 
team has gotten 2000% times better at not leaving gaping holes).
