Is anonymous good or bad? Are they helping, or are they just cybercriminals? What is hacktivism, and how is it different from cybercrime? For the law, there is no difference. But the public opinion is divided.

🏆 Holiday surveys promising prizes? Don't gobble them up — they're serving scams, not stuffing. 🦃

We're seeing a platter of malicious emails impersonating big retail names (think Costco) to lure victims into survey scams.

The starter?
Promises of some non-existent prize.

The main-course?
Your PII.

Red flags:

🚩 Subject lines (with and without emojis):

- 🦃Claim Your Free Costco Turkey Dinner
- You've won a Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner from Costco

🚩 Links that redirect through multiple shady domains before landing on the survey site (a classic TDS tactic!)

The only thing you'll "win" is a side of stolen personal data, no sweet dessert!

Tip: If you didn't enter a contest, you probably didn't win!

@jackyan agreed re: the immediate remedities.

Personally I'd refrain from CloudFlare as they're part of the problem, not the solution.

Any halfway-decent hoster (even cheap ones like #Contabo and #Netcup) offer #DDoS-Protection free of charge and don't host #Cybercrime and #Terrorism willingly.

This week, everywhere you look, bulletproof hosting (BPH) is in cyber news headlines. From the CrazyRDP takedown, to sanctions against entities adjacent to Aeza, and most recently Media Land LLC and ML[.]Cloud] LLC (do these measures actually move the needle?), to new CISA guidance on mitigating BPH activities.🛡️

It’s clear the spotlight is firmly on one of cybercrime’s most persistent enablers. And for a good reason. Few infrastructures have enabled so much criminal activity, for so long, with such resilience.

Spamhaus has tracked BPH operators and their evolving tactics for decades. 🕵️ We've watched the ecosystem shift from monolithic BPHs to layered and complex business structures.

So, amid the sensational headlines, we’ve compiled a grounded look at the topic, covering: the history, the current landscape, and where the threat landscape is likely to head next.
