    CloudFlare keeps blocking me, so I take their accomplishments with a grain of salt.

    Their mitigation comes at the cost of legitimate users being blocked, despite correctly identifying the bicycles in 16 different captchas in a row…

      The botnet is most likely build by exploiting vulnerable routers or cameras. Adding these devices to a overall botnet. What do you think?

        Why speculate when you can just find out? There are plenty of articles describing rapperbot.

      Cloudflare presumably don’t want to give away the identity of their customer.
