Interesting read, but what I'm missing is a location for this experiment. Because the the login attempts and especially the distribution of origins are vastly different form what I'm used to seeing.

None of the stuff here surprises me in general, but the specifics on sources of attacks, how much crypto shit is unsecured for it to be default approach for so many attempts, how much were bots vs actual humans, etc. is all very interesting.
