    Early this morning (local time 0500 - UTC+1200) we detected a what
    appeared to be a distributed scan of ftp ports.  10 source addresses
    were involved and each source scanned addresses going up in steps of 21
    addresses.  All started from the same block of 21 addresses. The scan
    rates varied between the sources with some probing at the rate of 1
    destination address per minute and others at up to 3 per minute.  
    
    They found several ftp servers and several of the sources established
    TCP connections to retrieve banners so I don't believe that this was a
    decoy scan.
    
    Here is a list of the IPs involved:
    
     193.92.189.98 195.199.85.93 24.203.213.246 200.207.15.4  212.249.12.194
    24.232.88.160 212.72.11.26 62.110.245.69 213.53.232.131 202.84.178.1
