I also learned for the first time that it’s possible to identify the attacker using their IP address.
However, the fact that they route their attacks through various servers—such as in South Africa, Brazil, Poland, China, and even within Japan—to conceal their identity is the exact same tactic used by Chinese cyber units when attacking the Japanese government or corporations.
