it's a jing jang thing.
soon there will be some one else who will be a tastier roast.
but as an Israeli im really impressed they were able to use so much compute before someone checked their activity report.

i fell for this malware once. had the malware on my laptop even with mb in the background. i copy paste and address and didn't even check it. my bad indeed. those guys makes a lot of money from this "one shot" moments

baba is fast.
I sometimes get calls like "You used to manage a server 6 years ago and we have an issue now" so I always tell the other person "type 'alias' and read me the output", this is how I can tell if this is really a server I used to work on.
They don't require you to use QUIC to access Google, but it is one of the options. If you use a non-supporting browser (Safari prior to 2023, unless you enabled it), you'd access it with a standard TCP-based HTTP connection.

Hm, shell environment is fairly high on the list of things I'd expect the next person to change, even assuming no operational or functional changes to a server.
And of course they'd be using a different user account anyway.
