Not really. IP addresses are really easy to change. And doubtless the threat actors will see that their IPs have been identified and will roll them over soon. The solution is to go after the tactics the attackers are using:
The attack chains exploit known security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, such as weak credentials, to obtain an initial foothold and execute arbitrary code on susceptible instances.
- Install your updates. If you have a server open to the internet and you haven’t patched known exploited vulnerabilities, you deserve to have your network ransomed.
- Many products have either vendor provided or useful third party security configuration guides. While there are situations where business processes prevent some configuration changes, these guides should be followed when possible. And weak passwords should not be on that list.
EDIT: for Oracle Web Logic, you do a lot worse that going through the DoD STIG for it.
One idea to always go back to is:
This can be tough to evaluate sometimes, but it’s a good general idea.
Does the claim sit outside the natural world as currently understood by scientific theory?
If yes, then there’s going to need to be a lot of evidence. If not, the level of evidence is lower.
Does the claim involve a low probability event?
If yes, then more evidence is needed of that event.
Does the claimant have a stake in the claim?
For example, does the person get money, fame or other stuff by getting people to believe the claim? If so, more evidence should be required.
What type of evidence would you expect to see, if the claim were correct?
When things exist, they tend to leave evidence of their existence. Bones, ruins, written records, etc. If someone says something exists, or used to exist, but they should have archeological/anthropological evidence to back it up.
Sure, it’s always going to be a bit subjective as to what requires proof. And for a lot of low stakes things, there’s no point in going after it. If someone claims to be from Pitcairn, then what’s the point of questioning it? Just say, “huh, cool” and move on. If someone is trying to convince you that an historical figure existed, and that should effect how you see the world, maybe ask for as bit more evidence.
