I remember when the ntp exploit came out few years ago datacenter where we have a rack contacted me saying the Supermicro IPMI devices on the Supermicro servers were participating in an amplification attack.

I was like wtf! Matter was quickly resolved of course, also they learned a lesson and moved ipmi ips to 10mbit limited connnections not 1gbit.

Tho ideally a local ip that accessible only via a vpn would have been the best option for remote management but yeh, little steps I suppose with some providers.
