A new Russian spidering tactic

kw: blogs, blogging, spider scanning

I checked stats when I finished the prior post. It appears that a different sort of spider scanning method is in use in Russia:

The spike of ~120 hits on the left came through the UAE. The cluster of smaller spikes on the right, from Russia, total half of all activity for the past week, concentrated in about 30 hours; nearly 300 hits so far.

This may be still going on. If I log in again in a couple of hours, there may be another spike or two showing.

Maybe some day one of the scanners will drop a comment to tell me what they find so interesting!
