We’re in the midst of response, so I don’t have a curated list with reputations or heavy analysis, but the heavy 
hitters are coming from the following list of IPs:

12.13.147.195

149.28.137.69

92.53.65.2
92.53.65.3

We’ll keep you updated if we find out more.  Just wanted to share in case you’re seeing any similar traffic.
