My IP recently expired and as usual I got rotated to a different IP block within my ISPs network. What's out of the ordinary though is that I am seeing hundreds of blocked pings in my logs, all from various IPs within this new block. I just noticed it and was like wtf??? I haven't heard about any worms sending pings and I sorta suspect P2P. Anybody seeing anything similar?

Found the answer here. It's evidently a new worm.

The worm is going bananas at the moment over here. And here is a fix for it.
