It's hilarious they reported on his honeypots :)
Kinda surprised I haven't gotten similar letters. I've gotten infected so

As an ISP, scan your customers netrange, and notify customers with known

Virgin Media in the UK do this for Mirai-infected or susceptible devices
already.

Quite interesting approach. If more consumers were aware of this, they may
do something about it.. although.. people are lazy. :(
