Looking closer, it wasn&rsquo;t the usual &ldquo;one server hammering you&rdquo; type — it was scraping <strong>spread across a great many IPs, each at a modest pace</strong>.</p> <p>This is a record of how I read its nature, chose how to block it by &ldquo;blast radius&rdquo; (the range of damage if something breaks), and rolled it out without stopping the running servers. I hope it offers a clue to anyone troubled by similar distributed access.</p>
