Something it's happening? Lots of attacks from NL

Hi,

AS202425 and its neighbors are very frequently found to host machines that are aggressively scanning and conducting brute-force login attempts on a mass scale. Sometimes, they claim such activity is part of legitimate security research work (example), but the respective organizations seem dodgy at best, and rebrand frequently.

This time, it apparently is “Recyber” - “35 Firs Avenue” in London is, by the way, a virtual office address hosting shell corporations galore. I doubt any of the Recyber folks has ever visited this place… :slight_smile:

This is exactly why we came up with the “drop hostile” feature: Putting reputations to countries is sort of a non-optimal approach, as there are countries (such as US) which cannot be blocked entirely, but also host hostile (i.e. bulletproof and cybercrime) networks.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
