So I did some poking around, read some articles [1] and found some simlarities, etc. No real testing per se yet. Thenafter yesterdays data was collected, the ISC port data showeda curious correlation. So I am turning to our readers. Can any of you offer any corroborating data or anecdotes. The pic [3] below shows a triple in sources on Aug 11 near the time when some of therecent Cisco vulnerabilities became well known. [2] Then a similar spike yesterday. The numbers do not entirely warrant a deep dive, however, knowing about the events surrounding" />

Please leave a comment if you see anything that correlates in your travels.
