Anybody have any idea why this activity has increased or has it always been this bad and only now just really being publicized?

It IS increasing, because the pirates have been successful in holding ships/tankers for ransom for tens of millions of dollars. They're buying more boats and weapons with that money.
It is getting to the point where I can see the Navy eventually just bombing all of the ships, despite the human shields on board. The harm that could come from these fools continuing to hijak international trade vessels - at an increasing price - might be to great to allow this to continue.
