Every server with port 80/443 open has thousands of hits a day from random boxes looking for wordpress login pages. The only new thing is that they're pretending to be a different type of annoying bot. There's a new layer of sophistication and subterfuge, but it's the same junk traffic we've always dealt with.

Think about how many webmaster and business owners' egos are stroked by all the traffic they are getting, when in actuality they are often just serving thousands of bots.

I was insulted recently reading about the apparently thousands of hits per second the rest of you guys are getting. Even the bots are shunning me!

I don't even have a domain name and I'm getting lots of hits.

Opening port 80 and realizing the world is an anarchic warzone is a canonic rite of initiation for otherwise innocent backend devs and sysadmins.

Another interesting thing here is the paths they're targeting, many are for newish AI coding tools

People or their agents must be accidentally committing or publishing their repository level secrets and configs with enough regularity that it’s worth scanning.

Totally. I'm sure this campaign was inspired by sloppy vibe coding

There are a few novel ones but I’ve been seeing most of them in my logs for longer than generative AI has existed. This isn’t remotely new, the vector is just getting bigger.
