Port 3128 is the default for squid (proxy). To find a (squid) proxy on port
8080 is highly probable too. So this looks like someone scanning for a squid
proxy. 
As far as I know, there is a vulnerability within squid. Something like
"malicous user can gain access". Just take a look a www.securityfocus.com
;-)

Is anyone familiar with an attack or probe which begins or ends with
scanning
only ports 3128 & 8080 on a target box? I've been seeing alot of this lately
in
various places.
