I'm being cyberattacked by Tesla, Inc
2026-09-13 While it’s not unusual for everything on the dark dungeons of the IPv4 Internet to be subject to a barrage of drive-by scanner traffic and the occasional bizarrely persistent attacker, I noticed something strange while looking through my nginx logs. All of those are in the Amazon Web Services AS (AMAZON-AES). Assetnote, a legitimate attack surface management tool now called Searchlight Cyber in marketing materials, does indeed use continuous threat exposure scanners like this to perform automated checks for customers’ assets.
