Talos approached both Hetzner and Limestone related to the information we gathered on these threat actors. Limestone Networks responded and cooperated fully with this investigation. With their help we were able to learn about the behaviour used by these actors as they are setting up infrastructure.

So, Hetzner didn't help, could it be they are getting kickbacks, since I don't know of one reason they wouldn't want to help to stop it...

Almost 75% of the exploits served to users were Adobe Flash related.

Imagine that! Die flash, die!

Nice read, thanks!
