Normally I dont do much about it, but malicious activity I police when
possible.
I do not want us, as a company to get involved in diagnosing or mitigating
IoT malware, I told them (the company, not the customer) thats outside my
work payscale, but on the side I will take care of it.
You guys, how do you handle stuff like this from the ISP perspective, its
an AUP violation so we are covered, but its also a dick move to shut a guy
off for something they may not understand.

I read through the write-ups on their sites, but didnt find anything more
specific to this, it shows some ports in the report. Im just curious how to
determine if this was a result of the daily scans they do or a honeypot hit
