Didn't check the archive file to see if this was more widespread because as this was a single instance today of a coordinated scrape attempt from multiple IPs at the same time.
The D-block scraping attempt from "61.66.36" was nothing new as small blocks of scraping IPs turn up all the time.
However, the C-block scraping from "218.162." at the same has implications as this normally would've been harder to identify in small 1-4 page bursts.
The scraping C-block:
61.66.36.185 [adsl-61-66-36-185.TC.sparqnet.net.] requested 2 pages as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible ; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"The scraping D-block:
61.66.36.186 [adsl-61-66-36-186.TC.sparqnet.net.] requested 3 pages as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible ; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
61.66.36.187 [adsl-61-66-36-187.TC.sparqnet.net.] requested 3 pages as "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible ; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

Time to block Taiwan entirely?
