My logs contain a total of 30 attempts IN A YEAR, then over 200 in 4 hours!!! WTF?

Anyone else record anything strange today?

* I've checked the IPs on Ripe, and there are common factors: 1/. about half are within VMs Network 2/. a quarter from Germany 3/. a quarter from the Ukraine
I had the same prolem a couple of weeks ago, when my router detected loads of 'port scans' on all different ports which where all blocked. So I subsequently re-booted my router to get a different IP address and so far no more problems.
They all originated from Shanghai China and was the same IP in all cases.
