Spike in 445?

There has been much media attention in the past two days to the report by Gartner that there has been a massive spike in scanning for TCP port 445.

There was a spike around the 13th of May, but nothing out of the ordinary is showing on the Dshield data.

If you have noticed a recent spike in activity, please report it to the ISC.
