Honeypot Experiment Shows the Relentless Reality of SSH Brute-Force AttacksA 54-day SSH honeypot experiment recorded 269,000 automated connection attempts, revealing a trend of threat actors interested in Solana blockchain nodes and IoT devices using hardcoded credentials.**Disable password-based SSH authentication entirely and switch to SSH key authentication, as automated botnets are constantly hammering port 22 with millions of password guesses including default IoT and crypto-infrastructure credentials. Restrict SSH access to trusted IP addresses only (via firewall rules or VPN), change the default port if possible.**#cybersecurity #infosec #knowledge #awarenesshttps://beyondmachines.net/event_details/honeypot-experiment-shows-the-relentless-reality-of-ssh-brute-force-attacks-k-v-k-z-j/gD2P6Ple2L
