Hi all
Im running a members only site with a mail facility to contact other
members.
over the weekend some kind of automated browser has searched for
members, send them a mail and repeated indefinately.
the pattern of accesses in the logs are too regular to be anything other
than machine driven.
most worryingly of all, each member has a db table showing who & when a
members details were viewed, but here nothing is recorded for any member
shown as viewed in the logs.
are these programs readily available? how do you block them? has anyone
any experience of this sort of thing?
thanks,
Alex
