This appears to be related to a Romanian organized crime ring.

They are using ssh scans + password lists for easy to guess servers.
From there they create a phishing site.

It has been on the rise for about 3 months or so from my records.

I'm seeing the same sorts of scans, but it seems to be only on hosts
that
offer web services and have publicly published URLs that might be found
in a
user's cache.
