What if all the hacking actually originated from America?
They just compromised a bunch of random computers in China and Russia, running an old copy of Windows XP, and built themselves a botnet.
What further evidence do you have, other than an IP address?
- Klinky 6y agoEven if that was the case, China/Russia having a bunch of vulnerable computers being used as proxy botnets would still be alarming.
