This is not an attack, but someone fishing for information. I
understand that apache in some modes give you the first configured vhost
when encountering a query like that. Someone wanted to see if there
was something juicy lying around. The server served the URL "http://<vhost0>/"
which was the index.{html,htm,php,etc} file in the vhost0 root directory.
