Your IP Address Might Be Someone Else's Problem (And Here's How to Find Out)

Summary: GreyNoise Labs released a free IP Check tool that reports within seconds whether an IP address has been observed scanning the internet or belongs to known business service infrastructure, with no signup or email collection. The tool returns verdicts of clean, malicious or suspicious, or common business services, and includes a 90-day activity timeline showing scanning tags such as probes for vulnerable web services, SSH connection attempts, and exposed database searches.
Why it matters: GreyNoise says its sensors see millions of residential IPs participating in scanning activity every month, and most of those users have no idea it is happening - their routers and IoT devices are conscripted into botnets while the internet keeps working normally.
