AFAIK Cisco used 1.1.1.1 as an example "dummy" IP in their wireless LAN controller documentation, which of course led to infinite idiots copy/pasting exactly that and setting up broken networks.

My college uses 1.1.1.1 as their iis administration endpoint, I was told the reason was "nobody would guess it so it reduces the number of dumb kids guessing the edu\Administrator domain password". Around the time cloudflare started using it their logs must have skyrocketed.
