I received a notification that there was an attempted port scan from IP address 73.105.102.121. I don't know that IP address. Does anyone have an idea what this is all about?
Thanks!

Attempted port scan from IP address 73.105.102.121.
A port scan is a series of messages sent by someone attempting to break into a computer to learn which computer network services, each associated with a "well-known" port number, the computer provides. Port scanning, a favorite approach of computer cracker, gives the assailant an idea where to probe for weaknesses. Essentially, a port scan consists of sending a message to each port, one at a time. The kind of response received indicates whether the port is used and can therefore be probed for weakness.
