Increase in Port Scan Attempts?

I have noticed in the past week about 10 different port scan attempts by various hosts. I'm used to seeing entries of one host probing particular ports, but I'm seeing the same host repeatedly probing multiple ports in a very short time. Most of them only log about 10-20 entries total in my firewall. However, last sunday, I received 3000 attempts from a university webserver (at 1:30 am). Earlier on this list there was talk of the possible existence of an unknown exploit in Windows. Does anyone have any more info about this? Something unusual seems to be afoot. -Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
