Blocking 1.1.1.1 -> 98% chance it is a bug

Blocking 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 -> what are the odds here?

everything from 1.0.0.0/8 to 1.0.0.0/15 would encompass those IPs so who knows what but my guess would be some routing or other strange internal usage of some of those subnets

Only one may be coincidental. Two is enemy action.

No. Block 1.0.0.0/8 due to internal use. That block includes both of those addresses.

the problem with this sentiment is what "one" and "two" imply. it's possible to refer/block/whatever multiple addresses with "one" action.
