Jesus christ, these #Clankers don't wanna give up! #AI #Scrapers #DDoS #Botnet

UPDATE: Services are restored. For now we've been able to hold back the tide of AI crawlers. The OpenStreetMap.org website and API are struggling. We are fighting a large set of AI crawlers / scrapers. Working to restore service as soon as possible. #AI #Scrapers

CAP captcha is live on this instance Hopefully you guys are all humans now https://trycap.dev #instanceadmin #trypcap #cap #captcha #sha256 #scrapers #scraperbots

Nos estan escrapeando de Meta #meta #scrapers #ia #bots

Dende afuera todavia se nota cierta latencia, posiblemente porque no han cesado los ataques de scraping, en la red interna vuela, y en las metricas los servidores no estan bajo carga o demanda altos, estan normales. El problema en ese caso sería que todos esos ataques que el firewall esta bloqueando exitosamente, lo hace recien dentro de la red, por lo que ese trafico ocupa lugar en la conexión dejando menos ancho de banda neto para el tráfico logítimo... veremos si la cosa mejora en los próximos dias #undernet #ataque #bots #scrapers #iabot #peertube

@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
