#Botnets
and all next year you'll have to hear lawmakers insist that Americans can't have access to cheaper and better Chinese EVs because they're just SO worried about U.S. consumer privacy and national security, while Trump and Huang cuddle up on AI policy and Russian botnets infect the white house

But they are, top to bottom, scams and exist mainly to enable illicit activities and botnets.

a lot of times this stuff is installed covertly for botnets, etc. though I guess some could have also been trying to hide their IP addresses to edit Wikipedia, or watch pirated movies, etc.

this is where your donations to the @democrats.org overwhelmingly go these days - the pockets of sociopathic consultants who rent out botnets to saturate your mentions with fake people pretending to be stupid. brainless, abusive robot cheerleaders demanding you shut up and accept pig slop.
Oh FFS, enjoy the night.

OPENSSH: SSHole, an authentication bypass, is under active exploitation. Botnets and crypto miners account for the initial attempts.

That “paid” thing is always projection. He’s buying botnets, I’m sure of it lol

This happens with concepts too. The paranoid and divorced maniacs who start calling you Ivan the minute you suggest that Russia isn't going to invade tomorrow believe this because they have wildly misunderstood reporting on Russian botnets.

It's tiring for us, and, I imagine, even more for them.

Are they all following EACH OTHER? I've noticed that seems to be what botnets & spammers do.

Someone got their phone or laptop owned by a proxy provider botnet(let's be real, these systems are botnets) and internal security hasn't caught it or they don't core.

Absolutely amazing security practices. Not at all concerning that this is happening on the WH network.

the only place T&S should be visible is in final decisionmaking and summary. if the full process you follow to investigate spam or botnets or scammers is open, of course they will immediately pivot and render it useless. that doesn't have to be. but every surface you expose is scrutinized for cracks

Hackers have used residential proxies for all kinds of malicious activity, including to create botnets and carry out account takeovers.

It was the 90s and an eggdrop botnet powered by custom Tcl scripts was protecting IRC channels from rival IRC groups with botnets of their own…

(*conspiracy tinfoil hat on*)

Perhaps after Trump lost the election the Russian botnets decided Twitter was no longer as effective as it used to be and have migrated over here to try to establish a foothold?

A Chinese software company planted a backdoor that ended up in widely used consumer hardware -- including (Google) Android TV boxes. Yet Google didn't bother to check until criminals deployed botnets using those boxes. Banning the company is too little, way too late […]

Alles, was Fernwartung kann und mit dem Internet verbunden ist, sollte bestmöglich abgesichert sein.

Und das gilt natürlich auch für alle Geräte, die mit dem Wlan verbunden sind – sonst wird dein smarter Toaster Teil eines Botnets oder mined Bitcoin.
