I don't use cf, I'm running some mail services but i do block entire AS's after 5 brute force attacks from different IP addresses from same AS regardless of country of origin. This are always modem / routers left with default password, IP cameras with default password, various IoT devices with default password or all of the above with vulnerable firmware with CVE's dating way back. I think that if you are unable or can't be bothered to change the default password for your device you don't deserve internet access. There is much need for something like natural selection on the internet. It is getting to crowded out there.

according to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_num... , German does not even make the top 10 ...is 12 just after "Urdu". I would not call German a "widely spoken" language.

It looks to me like common stupidity...people opening attachments that they should not be opening. No need to involve CIA NSA or other tree letters agency hacking tool...just old school phishing. I see this happening much to often....people opening *.pdf.js attachment. No need for another conspiracy theory...stupidity explains it all.
Just my 50¢.
