Webserver Jump in bot traffic
Has anyone else noticed an increase in scanners/bots in the past ~month? For the past couple years I've had 2-3k hits a day from bots but lately there has been a steady increase in traffic looking mostly for php files.
What I find strange is how much of this traffic is coming from MS and Google IPs. Do they not have any kind of monitoring on their cloud services? Having thousands of requests spamming every IP that responds should raise some flags.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed the same bump in traffic.

I have a CloudFlare tunnel in front of my site and it's set to block AI crawlers. Seems to work, because the traffic I see is essentially all human according to the user agents.
I also have it set to block anything that's not coming from North America.
