Hm. There is someone testing the internet right now... poking at all of the systems and seeing how quickly the systems respond to their actions. BoingBoing has a good 101 on it.

I'm not sure if this is related or not, but the probing is systematic, and it's best to respond to those kinds of things quickly. Make sure you aren't labeled as an "easy mark" by the hacker...
