@LunaDragofelis@void.lgbt +9001% I treat them as such and literally consider automating #AbuseReports and #blackholing of #traffic that way. Interestingly #TorBrowser users are the most honest as none of the #DDoS'ing #Scrapers seem to claim to be it.

No outages in the latest Apache logs. However, there is plenty of suspicious activity. The log has 16,033 lines. Of these, 1,559 lines feature the "RecentChanges" function for my wikis. Which is something regular users _might_ call up from time to time, but I suspect that #scrapers are the more likely culprits. The vast majority of these requests come from a random assortment of IP addresses, and they usually end with something on the lines of: "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" So yeah, "anonymous bot nets scraping the Interwebs for nefarious purposes" would be by first guess.

https://OpenStreetMap.org has been disrupted today. We're working to keep the site online while facing extreme load from anonymous scrapers spread across 100,000+ IP addresses. Please be patient while we mitigate and protect the service. #OpenStreetMap #DDoS #Scrapers #AI
