In the past few weeks I have noticed this type of POST activity showing in my honeypot {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_accounts"} looking for ID 0 (root). Activity has a static source port of 65535 and destination port 8080.


Do you have logs to share related to this type of activity?

Looks, at first glance, as if it could be related to this Oracle advisory?
