Starting 2022/12/18, the AniNIX saw a rapid increase of threat traffic from subnets attributed to CN, BR, and KZ country codes -- this coincided with a concerted campaign being run from hosting provider DigitalOcean. While APT-style campaigns from CN are more or less expected, the large amount of traffic from DigitalOcean suggests the advent of a new campaign from that vendor. Other AniNIX users have reported similar attacks originating from DigitalOcean, but blocking the entire provider cuts off access to some local resources.
We are blocking the following subnets in response to this threat data: 8.213.129.0/24, 36.92.107.0/24, 43.157.15.0/24, 45.162.216.0/22, 46.101.128.0/17, 46.101.80.0/20, 61.177.0.0/16, 62.87.132.0/22, 64.227.0.0/17, 82.180.132.0/23, 85.152.0.0/17, 92.46.64.0/18, 159.223.0.0/16, and 218.92.0.0/16. If you have legitimate resources living in these spaces, we recommend hardening those resources and contacting us via Discord or IRC to receive an exception.
