anyone know the _what/why_ regarding this recent rather large spike in MOE traffic?
(might be ai/bot/llm/lvm/etc using residential based proxies which would massively increase the "individual" entity traffic based on originating ip addresses)
(re: residential proxies, see for example _randomly_referenced_ oxylabs.io and www[.]webshare.io)

gadget42:
after reading a recent commentary that included information about aisuru botnet here:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/ddos-threat-report-2025-q3/#aisuru-breaking-records-with-ultrasophisticated-hyper-volumetric-ddos-attacks

more searching resulted in a couple pieces from krebs:

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/10/aisuru-botnet-shifts-from-ddos-to-residential-proxies/

snippet tidbit(mostly because an earlier post referenced oxylabs.io and www[.]webshare.io):
