In my own experiments in this area I've been gobsmacked by how much malicious traffic comes from Azure.

I'm currently fighting this battle.

As of this morning:

  80% of malicious traffic comes from Azure.
  10% from Digital Ocean.
  5% from AWS.
  5% from GCP.

Closer to 95% if you count Teams.
I appreciate you.
Mine is very similar, but with DO and AWS swapped around.
100% is from those 4 clouds?
I have a similar experience with a tendency to Digital Ocean. Actually, I semi-automatically collect IPs that are banned by (mostly SSH) fail2ban and eBPF bans from dnsdist. These IPs are then merged into CIDRs, which are used as ipsets in a firewall ban chain. The IPs are collected on around ~20 Machines with public, static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Most of the Machines are in Canada and Europe.

However, I have statistics for the CIDRs based on their whois record that look like:

CIDRs used: 1255

Already cached: 1252

Skipped uncached targets: 0

IPs scanned total: 985300

Estimated throttled wait: 0.10 minutes

I deleted the (abuse) mail section. Because. 99% of the IPs are IPv4. In the IPset are mostly /32 but also a lot of ~/24 and rarely ~/16 segments. RIPE, ARIN and APNIC comes into play because some CIDR blocks are somewhat generously sized and block multiple network segments belonging to different organizations at the same time. E.g. this hides BR from the stats (because the ipset mostly bans every provider from BR).
Not sure why this got voted down to death, I found it interesting, thanks.
