Crafty indeed. You following the never-ending South China sea news at all?
Tangent: This is pretty cool to have a look at. It's a live "attack" map of all sorts.

edit: @RainstormZA , i think you'll dig this.
It's the wild west out there.
Not on the internet ...yet.
They just come to Durban once a year and steal our sardines.

You will have to ask erm.... my wife
It is - with Huawei!
There's a poor server on the West coast of the US - looks like LA to me - that is getting pummelled all the time from all over the world
Even the odd shot being fired from South Africa into there. lol
So far I've not seen much attacks into SA.
I see Australia gets one or two shots into it occasionally. Hehe
It seems like these are attacks that are being resisted successfully. At least that is how I understand it.
Fascinating - once again, thanks for sharing this @cgs
I think its a scrolling list of the counties being attacked. But its moving so fast you sometimes cant even see what country it is.... lol....
If you click on the little info icon at the top right it explains what the different colours mean (what type of attack)
Those are the countries being threatened.
It's the devices that are reporting the threats as they attempt to neutralize them; still a lot that goes undetected.
Also, with things like TOR, you can re-route and make it look like you're coming from somewhere else.
If you double click on an area on the map it zooms in with some more info:
Here is another; not as busy but the scrolling comments are funny sometimes.

"It seems like these are attacks that are being resisted successfully. At least that is how I understand it."
100%, most enterprise routers/switches have some sort of threat management on them and subscribe to a dynamic list of all these threats, constantly updated.
But that's all boring stuff.

You can go down your own rabbit hole from there.
Had exposure to security when I worked for ISPs but I'm more of a Linux/Server/Storage guy. Networking never really stuck.
IT is something I kinda just fell into because my parents wouldn't let me join Metallica.
Perhaps you can help us to figure out a way to block our crafty spammers that pay us a visit from time to time
More than happy to take a look.
I don't know everything but know how to learn.

I'm not sure how things are setup at the moment but perhaps go here for a start.

You'll get a list of IPs / Ranges you can stick in a firewall or perhaps the forum software has a place for this.
Block China entirely for now and deal with vendors later.
Won't work if they use VPN but its a start.
