The Numbers Don't Lie
While you were sleeping off Christmas dinner, the system kept working.
Overnight Stats (12/25-12/26)
| Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | IPs Blocked | 1,487 | | IOCs in Feed | 73,983 | | Oz Decisions | 129,898 | | AbuseIPDB Reports | 32,623 |
Top Attackers (12 hours)
| Country | Blocked | |---------|---------| | US | 181 | | Singapore | 65 | | China | 62 | | Hong Kong | 57 | | Belgium | 22 | | Germany | 20 |
That Hong Kong traffic? Huawei Cloud instances (`hwclouds-dns.com`). Not university students - attack staging infrastructure.
STIX Feed Adoption
Real organizations pulling our threat intel this week:
• SpaceX (verified)
• Germany (100 requests)
• India (98 requests)
• France (87 requests)
• Bulgaria (83 requests)
• UK, Russia, Canada
From a guy in Minnesota to SpaceX's security team. That's the pipeline.
The Christmas Attack Pattern
Steam went down Christmas Eve. So did Epic, Riot, and others. No official explanation from Valve.
• `142.93.125.218` (DigitalOcean)
• `134.209.167.84` (DigitalOcean)
DigitalOcean nuked them within hours of our report.
Aisuru hit Steam with 29.69 Tbps back in October. Same botnet, same target, Christmas timing. Connect the dots.
The Kid Factor
• `injectroblox.ru`
• `roblox.com.ge`
• `roblox.com.py`
Plus 5 Steam scams. Every one of those is a kid who didn't get their account stolen on Christmas morning.
Why We Do This
32,623 IPs reported to AbuseIPDB. That's not just defense - that's contribution. Every report helps block those IPs for everyone else.
Some SOC analyst in Singapore is blocking our Alibaba botnet IPs right now. Some kid in Munich still has their Steam account because our IOCs made it into the right blocklist.
The attackers don't take holidays. Neither does the system.
