[atlas] Possible software probe "farming" on AS47583

Very weird, as mentioned one message to this mailing list and you can er millions of credit.

Why would anyone do this?

Could it have some other reason? Criminals trying to find IP addresses that respond to ICMP ping requests and then try to hack those addresses?

I really think the owner of these probes should be contacted and if their response does not fit with the purpose of Atlas, the probes should be disabled.

Regards,
