can you explain what is the good reason here? Im constantly meet this problem and interested why

Looking at service logs at my company show a serious amount of hacking attempts by bots originating from Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Mostly harmless on an updated server not running an ancient Wordpress but attempts nonetheless.

For companies that don't serve customers there it's very common to just block those network ranges. Of course, it's no real solution, but some people are convinced every security layer contributes to 'defense in depth'.

wow, did these attacks start after the beginning of military actions in Ukraine in 2022? Or they were a long time before.

Thanks for clarification

		It's not specifically Ukraine related, (spam) botnet harvesting is a much older practice. It was already a problem at my first job at the beginning of the century...
