If they are doing this "right" you won't see the scanners come back to
try bruteforcing.

Those will be low value throw away systems that will be easily detected
because of their rapid SYN scanning.

I agree.  We'll probably only see more of this as time goes on.  I just
wanted to post the list in case somebody noticed a connection.

Looks like just SYN scanning so far.  They have not come back from the
IPs I checked...yet.

Thanks,
David
