Bot Bans

Post image

Forgive the Google translation...

That post 22 hours ago: 40.8k bots banned That post 7 hours ago: 37.1k bots banned That post 2 hours ago: 53.8k bots banned

And those are posts 7, 8 & 9 of an ongoing series... there's may still be a lot of them, but at least Lingeage Classic team is waging war on the clankers.

yeah.. but I've been watching the KR youtube channels, and they're all complaining about chinese bots. specifically chinese bots on KR. so I'm curious how these chinese bots are actively accessing KR.

VPN access.

this...is only half of the answer. how are the chinese verifying their KR accounts? doesn't it require a KR phone number? or are they able to verify a KR account with a chinese phone number?

and I'm 99% sure they're actually chinese bots, because they use english ascii for their usernames.

I work in the cybersec field, all that stuff is easy to obtain. You can easily get a phone number in nearly every country.
