One of the services that’s included in all of our MyIT plans is a weekly review of the clients firewall logs. This tends to be a win / win for us and the customer because it gives the customer an additional layer of security for their environment and it gives us a very broad view of the threat landscape across a large geographic area and 20+ verticals ranging from construction to manufacturing to finance and entertainment. In most cases, there’s a “low rumble” of generic threat traffic across the fleet and maybe a few stand-outs here and there.
This week though, we have seen a significant spike in traffic from and to IP Addresses in Russia and China. Much of it has been from appliances like NVR / DVR devices, cameras and similar. Not really enough to go on yet but it was sufficiently outside of the norm to raise a few eyebrows. Questionable traffic from both countries is pretty standard but the amount of traffic and especially the traffic seeming to originate from these devices was significant.
