    I have detected a noticeable increase of (blocked) attempts to connect
    to the TCP port 139 on machines in our network. Look at these numbers
    (number of blocked packets per a day):

          1 Jun 10
          5 Jun 11
         13 Jun 12
         15 Jun 13
          3 Jun 15
          3 Jun 16
          4 Jun 17
         13 Jun 18
         18 Jun 19
         16 Jun 20
         15 Jun 21
          4 Jun 22
          2 Jun 23
         23 Jun 24
         18 Jun 25
         44 Jun 26
         95 Jun 27
        112 Jun 28
         84 Jun 29
         53 Jun 30
        130 Jul 1
        191 Jul 2
        227 Jul 3
        235 Jul 4
        226 Jul 5
        185 Jul 6
        167 Jul 7
        350 Jul 8
        199 Jul 9

    These probes are not (ordinary) scans but isolated attempts by seemingly
    random remote IP addresses to open connection to seemingly random local IP
    addresses. In many cases, the destination is an unused address.

    This is very suspicious.
