Натрапив на
новину півторарічної давности, яка мене вразила:
One of the documents states that full scans of network ports of 27 countries and partial scans of another five countries had been carried out.
<...>
The documents also reveal “Landmark,” a program started by the Canadian spy agency CSEC to find what it calls ORBs (Operational Relay Boxes), which are used to hide the location of the attacker when it launches exploits against targets or steals data, Heise said. For example, during an exercise in February 2010, eight groups of three “network exploitation analysts” were able to find 3,000 potential ORBs, which could then potentially be used by CSEC.
Тобто британці сканують порти, а потім канадці ламають вразливі системи, щоб використовувати їх як власний ботнет / або щоб із них здійснювати подальші кібератаки.
А я то думав, хто ж підбирає паролі на серверах ssh...
