True indeed, yet even today I have seen little evidence of scanning beyond standard ports (pretty much the same as in the past). Criminals are opportunistic by default and tend to go for low hanging fruit (standard ports, with standard server config). I certainly did see in increase on standard ports. Even while full range scanning has become more feasible, I have not seen much evidence of its use.
