The spiders are getting more clever

kw: blogs, blogging, spider scanning

Have a look at what I noticed today, which apparently happened yesterday:

The "Overview" for the week shows a spike of 166 hits late yesterday. The pageview map is seemingly empty. The details show why: the "Unknown Region" is not mappable. Recent spidering spikes have come from the Ukraine, France and Spain. I suspect they are all spoofed from the same source, as is this one.

I also note that Chrome use is greater than ever (for the spider perhaps?), and that Linux has outpaced Windows, at least for the time being.
