My first guess would be that your seeing the effects of SirCam.  In addition
to being spread by email SirCam once installed looks for open file shares on
other machine on the network to infect.  It does this by check port 139.  If
you like, I have been keeping statistics concerning Red Code and SirCam on
my local @Home providers and have posted the resulting graphs on
http://members.home.net/mcneillb/.  SirCam first showed up on our local ISP
on July 19th or 20th and has been very persistent since then with anywhere
from 15 - 45 probes a day to my system.

Since my last message, number of port 139 scan continue to increse from
all over the places (but mostly from @Home .24 network)

As of 3:30EST, there are already 89 scans (from 19 scans @ 02:30).

This is very unusal, since there are only a few scan on 139 before and all
of the sudden there is a big jump.

Is anyone seeing the same thing on their network?

Hello World,

 In the past few days I have seen increase port 139 scans in the FW log.
Does anyone aware if there is a new hack or just the plain old poking
around "windows file sharing" service?

Before Aug 7: almost 0 port 139 scan detected (well, sometimes maybe 1 or
2 a day)
Aug 7: 7
Aug 8: 7
Aug 9: 4
Aug 10: 60
Aug 11: 87
Aug 12: 86
Aug 13 (from 00:00 - 02:30): 19
