I have no Microsoft-powered computers in my posession.

This morning, I wake up to someone using an IP belonging to Microsoft Brazil 
trying to smack my SSH port around.  I noticed a few other Brazilian IPs in 
there so I just blocked the whole country.

I don't know if someone was spoofing IP addresses from Microsoft but I'd 
rather be safe than sorry.

I am also blocking a LOT of virtual hosted systems that are just outright 
trying to portscan my network.

There's one problematic group called FranTech, with the company registered in 
Wyoming but with a .ca TLD, that has been causing issues for quite some time. 
I am making a dent though because they're showing up less often in my system 
logs.

I love pfSense. <G>
