    Yeah I worked for company with publicly exposed server, the logs were amazing.

    Just bots scanning default ports trying default username and password for services like Microsoft SQL server.

    It’s such a waste of energy really

      That’s been happening since forever, though. I helped manage proxy servers for my first job in the mid 00’s, and those server logs were mostly automated port scans and failed login attempts, even on the newly commissioned servers.
