The spiders of unknown origin outnumber all

kw: blogs, blogging, spider scanning

Earlier today, preparing to enter a book review, I captured these activity indicators:

That big spike yesterday was all from "Unknown Region", and was accomplished in a few minutes. The 200+ from Russia spanned 2+ days, and is seen as the broad hump, just above the weeds, from Dec 13-15. I find it interesting that all 182 "Unknown Country" hits came via Bing, and none others. Bing does seem to have the best protection for someone browsing Incognito. Apparently, either Bing allows bulk browsing, or there were a bunch of browser windows involved, all triggered at once (whether on one fast machine or on a botnet, I don't know).
