Common answer on port 8080:

407 Proxy Authentication Required
Access to requested resource disallowed by administrator or you need valid username/password to use this resource

None of them answered to anything we tried (russian, english, spanish, german, nothing).

##Conclusion Our guess is that these "users" are some kind of data aggregation bots for spam or other malicious intention.
