Attackers Without Borders: The View Of Global Malicious Traffic For Germany

Summary: GreyNoise Labs analysed 30 days of malicious traffic between mid-September and mid-October 2023 and observed 178,360 malicious exploitation attempts against German IP address space, alongside 12,720 attacks originating from Germany at other country-assigned networks. Of the inbound attempts, 1,695 (1.0%) were directed only at Germany, and the Mirai botnet held the top tag position in that inbound traffic.
What's compelling: Mirai's constant scanning means a default or misconfigured system left on the internet for less than an hour can become part of an adversary's inventory, and mobile networks - roughly 40-50% of all benign traffic to most websites - are a growing attack source that defenders find hard to block.
