Often just nothing better to do. I'm online chess player. It's hard to imagine how many players run Chessmaster in a 2nd window to feel fake victorious over a random internet opponent.
Chances are that if they are able to get an accurate source IP that it's in Russia or some other country that doesn't generally prosecute for cybercrimes targeting people in other countries.
It seems over again. The botchecker works pretty good. Looks like validated real ip's get priority but the server still has to take the incoming traffic too far because it all looks the same.
We appreciate you, homie.
This is exactly what I was asking my girlfriend earlier.
I have a number of routers from my local Salvation Army that appear to be original. However, once you connect to the ROM chip, you can see they are ready to phone home (and do). I'm waiting to find more.

If we’re talking about state-sponsored criminal groups (which are unlikely to bother with this FreeBSD forum), then yes. But they only handle serious operations, since they are funded by state budgets—and we’re talking about huge sums of money. Besides, such groups keep a low profile and certainly aren't amateurs. This isn't just the stuff of legend, though—they do get put on wanted lists sometimes. What other countries do you know of?
