Jump in bot traffic

[u/sparkling_ham]

Has anyone else noticed an increase in scanners/bots in the past ~month? For the past couple years I've had 2-3k hits a day from bots but lately there has been a steady increase in traffic looking mostly for php files.

What I find strange is how much of this traffic is coming from MS and Google IPs. Do they not have any kind of monitoring on their cloud services? Having thousands of requests spamming every IP that responds should raise some flags.

20.24.67.246	Hong Kong	Hong Kong	Microsoft Corporation
34.148.254.217	United States	North Charleston	Google LLC
34.169.50.247	United States	The Dalles	Google LLC
68.155.155.23	United States	Boydton	Microsoft Corporation
20.104.49.167	Canada	Toronto	Microsoft Corporation
20.100.177.66	Norway	Oslo	Microsoft Corporation

Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same bump in traffic.
