Those login attempts which trigger 2fa app does not generate a log entry if unsuccessful. Only attempts with username/password does. For some strange reason.

So there is no way to flag them as malicious and if you accidentally accept, then it’s already too late.

Pretty annoying setup.

Interestingly enough, also some MS/Azure services are down. For example https://www.office.com/ just returns:

>We are sorry, something went wrong. >Please try refreshing the page in a few minutes. If the problem persists, please visit status.cloud.microsoft for updates regarding known issues.

The status page of course says nothing

The Norwegian MET has had it for years, for free. https://api.met.no/

They also provide yr.no which is widely used worldwide.

This was two years ago and the network is now (to my knowledge) gone.

We did publish a whole series about the network and companies we found in the process, unfortunately in Norwegian only and soft-paywalled: https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/sonjas-52-oppdagelse-avslor...

Sidenote but what do you think about Ahrefs? I'm doing some tests to see how easy it is to get ranked for keywords (with actual helpful content, not crap like this thread is about), but i find the Adsense keyword tool not that helpful as they delete many keywords when you search for them, which kinda voids that tool.

But I currently feel that paying $100/mo for Ahrefs for something I do as a side project is a tad wasteful.

That's because it's real content that they have stolen and just republished. In SEO circles one like to say that original content is king. Well, not so much after all.

Can confirm this is not malware, Google has a huge spam problem, see my previous comments.

I have some experience on this field. Around two years ago i was a DevOp for the company running Dagbladet, Norways #2 newspaper. One of the things I did was keep an eye on mysterious traffic.

I managed to find a huge spam network that set up a proxy service that delivered normal content, but injected "you can win an iPhone!" spam to all users visiting them.

Since I was in the position of being able to monitor their proxy traffic towards many sites I managed. I could easily document their behaviour.

In the same time, I wrote a crawler that visited their sites over a long, long time. I learned that they kept injecting hidden links to other sites in their network, so I did let my bot look at those also.

By this time, I also got a journalist with me that started to look at the money flow to try and find the organisation behind it.

My bot found in excess of 100K domains being used for this operation, targeting all of westeren Europe. All the 100K sites contained proxied content and was hidden behind Cloudflare, but thanks to the position I had, I managed to find their backend anyways.

We reported the sites to both CF and Google, and to my knowledge, not a single site were removed before the people behind it took it down.

Oh, and the journalist? He did find a Dutch company that was not happy to see neither him or the photographer :)

Im a bit confused by this. I run a UniFi Controller in a docker container, have a few APs and a router, and everything works fine. No cloud stuff going on here.

Am i just lucky or something that i havent been forced to the cloud yet, or is it something i am missing here?
