Reports of Abusive Traffic and Legal Notices Salad, a platform known for rewarding users who share computing resources, is facing a storm of backlash over its new bandwidth-sharing feature. Multiple contributors report that after enabling it, their home IP addresses became conduits for suspicious high-volume web traffic, leading to ISP warnings, IP removals, and legal threats.
One contributor claimed to have received a Netflix notice citing 30,000 failed login attempts traced to their home IP. Another described similar activity after opting into the program: "My IP was being used by a malicious VPN customer for brute-forcing credentials—or worse."
