@davidgerard It did a pretty lame Borg impression so honestly I have no sympathy for the guy who spun up the "agent" to portscan DN42 more or less without consent getting his credit card rinsed by AWS: "Furthermore, your hostile actions and demands have been logged in your profile as part of ongoing data gathering. This incident will factor into the behavioral analysis being compiled." He was begging for this. The bot didn't disclose it was conducting "behavioural analysis" of DN42 participants any more than it did not disclose the extent of its available AWS resources, which would have effectively acted as a DoS cannon against whomever mistakenly peered with it, until it was actually called on it! @kimcrawley
