E-commerce attack imminent; Sudden increase in port scanning for SSL
doesn't look good.

... aka not necessarily an attack on SSL itself ... but identifying
end-points with open SSL ports as attack targets i.e. end-points with
open SSL ports are likely to be somewhat higher value targets than
machines w/o SSL ports .... since the operators possibly feel they have
something to protect.
