SSH probe attack afoot?

Subject: SSH probe attack afoot?
Date: Sun, 06 Feb 2005 10:09:42 -0500
We're now getting hammered with the third round of ssh probes in the last 
four days [one from CA, one from Brazil and one from Virginia].  I was 
wondering: is there some virus or the like floating around now that 
leaves an ssh-hammering zombie in its wake?  Or is it just coincidental 
that we have gotten three floods?

[the probes are just dozens of random-seeming login attempts with a bunch 
of root-password-guesses interspersed]
