I've seen similar stuff in Publishing (news) and another big (popular) company at that time. Yes, Ru/Cn are not the only one, but if you work in security this is just one problem less to solve if you have those banned.

Then maybe you should reevaluate your cold war attitude on network security.
I hope your sites/companies/projects never get attacked by a hacker from an "evil" country that goes through the absolute minimum effort of tunneling through a VPN or botnet in the US...

These "attacks" are automated scanners trying a bunch of SSH/Telnet credentials and five year old Netgear CVEs. Why are you worried about these? If you are vulnerable to them you have a serious problem because someone will try them from a BuyVM or Ecatel machine that is Western but more lenient towards scanning and then you will be compromised.
Well, not directly,but this is the first time I was morally willing to work in parallel to the defense industry.
My previous startups were fintech. The customer I had who was attacked by China was Slideshare. Ultimately they bent over for China, and blocked them for a year.
Setup an IPS on a server exposed to the net. Record all attacks for a month, then look up the IP addresses, then you will understand.
I worked in network security at banks for a decade, really Russia and China are responsible for millions of attacks against westerm infrastrucuture in this century causing $10s of billions of damage. It is war.
I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years and I’ve seem some shit. Russia once took Estonia offlone for over a month.
Cloudflare and every other CDN understand that China and Russia is a liability, thats wht they make it easy to null route them.
