Understood. I based the claim that it was mostly reconnaissance right now on the fact that 83% of all the requests we were seeing were reconnaissance and not dropping malware. But, I agree, there is a lot of malware being dropped as well.

My organization has mostly been seeing more reconnaissance than actual code execution as well. I suspect, or perhaps just hope, that this is because most of the current scanning is being done by white hats/gray hats. I suspect the people who actually want to infect machines aren't bothering with reconnaissance.
