ignoring annoying log entries

I am logging a lot of entries like this in my /var/log/secure for VSFTPD,
usually in long bursts from various 3rd-world addresses. I figure they are
probes for vulnerable Windows Server ftp servers (the Administrator user).
How can I /dev/null these errors and keep others?

Administrator for service vsftpd
