Should Cloudflare release the IPs and try to get those devices removed from the internet?
- _alternator_ 1y agoThat would just be a target list for hackers. Most of the devices that take part are going to be in homes or SMBs with old firmware that’s subject to known vulnerabilities. They will give the list to AS operators who request the offending IPs (presumably restricted to the AS ranges) but dropping it out on the public internet just invites trouble.

- miyuru 1y agothey do for ISPs who wants to do it. this is referred in the "Free botnet threat feed" of the article.
