Your Smart Appliances Might Be Running Malware: A Global Scraping Crisis

Probably check on your smart appliances

I discovered that 80-90% of scraper hits on my Anubis honeypot come from IPs not on any threat list, suggesting a massive wave of compromised smart appliances. Data from Sourceware reveals this is a truly global issue, with traffic originating from hundreds of countries and ISPs. Unless we take concerted global action, these infected devices will continue to fuel proxy networks and overwhelm web application firewalls.

"I don't think there's any way to make a real impact on this problem without concerted simultaneous global action."
