There's overemphasis in the posting byoliver2002 regarding bad traffic coming from residential networks. The WSJ article itself describes how bad actors are getting malware onto mobile devices. It would be better described as end user networks rather than residential. In fact you might as well just say it's all networks. The amount of bad traffic out there these days is significant and the geopolitical situation is adding fuel to the fire.
