     The logs are actually all "FAIL UPLOAD: Client ..
     /blah/blah/Photo.scr"
     these days.
     There were a couple misconfigured directories owned by ftp:ftp with
     mode some fucked up combo of either u+w or g+w where it kept getting
     placed, which was fixed a while ago.

     fucking...
     images? Screensaver files? Apparently Windows also blithely
     interprets
     them as ".scr"ipts, which includes regular old win32 executable
     code.
     The beautiful aesthetics of Windows. And obviously I never wanted to
     run
     them..
     Oh, and its apparently a "monero" miner/virus, not bitcoin. So many
     blockchain currencies, so little wattage... Except in Venezuela, of
     course :)
