Sadly, that is the norm with everything since Shodan made it trivially easy to find out targets for websites. Once your hostname or IP ends up there, you will get blasted with exploits a couple minutes after a 0-day was published.

I think blaming shodan/etc is incorrect - shodans rise in popularity coincided with the rise of cheap, fast bandwidth at VPS providers enabling you to scan real fuckin fast.

It’s much more efficient to just do “zmap | ./exp” than it is to query shodan, get a limited amount of targets, etc.
