Bots

Post by Martin Hash » Thu Mar 30, 2017 3:06 pm

Normally, I only delete forum sign-ups from Russian, Ukraine & recently, Polish IPs. Today, though, 4 very suspicious sign-ups came in: 2 from Amsterdam, and 2 from Delaware, and a VPN. I let the 2 U.S. ones & 1 Amsterdam in but I suspect all 3 will start bombing the place pretty soon. I don't know what brought this on but there were a dozen clearly bogus sign-ups too???

Polish bots are based, though. We need those guys to fight the Turkish bots.

The "CurtisJurt" bot is tenacious. Curtis, if you're not really a bot, send me a private email: Martin@Hash.com

p.s. Of course it's a bot: Russian IP, bot-like name, relentless sign-ups & no human contact.

Wouldn't a VPN connection be more likely a human? Common Sensers tend to be more security minded than most.

I email the VPNs and ask for a little information about themselves. A least twice, It was a human.

We must be gaining some kind of critical mass, bots coming in from all over the world.

Likely the bots are gaining some kind of critical mass, where they can now target even smaller groups.

In the end you will have otherwise dead forums etc. being kept alive with Computers doing all the discussion.
