To be fair, all you know re: China is that an IP address near Shanghai was somehow involved (possibly as an innocent/unsuspecting member of a botnet, possibly as a malicious attacker, possibly as a decoy to throw people off the scent, possibly as a single node in an onion router, who knows).
I think it's a stretch to title this "What the Chinese deploy..." No need to go there.
- Artemis2 12y agoI think we can go as far as saying that the IP addresses' geolocation data are irrelevant. On top of what you mentioned, a lot of companies are already using IP addresses where they shouldn't be, because of the limited quantities of IPv4 addresses.
- Riyadh 12y agoYou're right about that, Malcolm. Then again that was just one of several IP addresses tracking to China. Nevertheless I should have replaced "Chinese" with "hackers".
