    Interesting... Applebot (from Apple's netblock Net17) just got auto-banned from my blog for crawling. It ignored my robots.txt. Oddly, Apple's description of their bot says that they obey robots.txt. I guess Apple doesn't like to follow their own rules.

    There have been a few DDoS attacks against FotoForensics this evening. (I wonder if it's the same guy from Elkhart, Indiana who sent me a threatening letter yesterday after he got banned for uploading porn.)

    Interesting messages in my voicemail are a fun way to start the morning! (No, that's not my voice. The last time I saw this person, he was wearing an "anonymous" mask.)

    Wow... I had been banning all of Algeria for widespread uploading of IDs and passport photos. After 4 months, I lifted the ban. 24 hours later, a bunch of Algerian IDs were uploaded from Algeria. Poof -- country-wide ban re-enabled.

    The group from Israel that was uploading lots of fake Israeli IDs have switched to uploading the same type of fake IDs from compromised computers in Canada.

    At FotoForensics, I'm seeing an increase in altered US vaccine cards. People: It's easier to get the vaccine shot than it is to fake the photo of the vaccine card!
