Turns out if you are seeing #scans from the #ip range 18.171.7.246 or 35.177.10.231, the it could be the #uk #government https://lowendbox.com/blog/getting-scans.. Whilst I like the #uk #government being more #proactive in #syber #security , it feels that #politics will lead to this also being used to #exploit #vulnerable #servers too. The #temptation will be too much for these people, knowing they could gain access to important services.
#aardvark raises a great point about #pandering to *some* of the #maori people who believe that the entire of #nz should be on their hands and knees just for them: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/1020.s.. As he correctly says, #equal #opportunity is available to *all* people - to the point where the #nz #government is almost *too* #proactive in trying to get people the #covid #vaccine ! Madness.
