Why do you think this is happening? Do you believe saidit is gaining traction and there are outside forces trying to infiltrate?

Could be, honestly not totally sure. But someone definitely wants us to go down

Are the IP addresses random? From a VPN?
We may need to investigate where it is coming from.

random, from many vpns. We have a few ideas, but nothing certain

Thanks for info, and I get a bit creative.

It may be that some VPNs allow requests for blocking attacks.
Did you setup some honeypots?
If they try to break in, they may be more traceable.
It is a lot of work though, and you need a separate system for that.

I suspect that they are scrip-kiddies, and probably don't run javascript. So it may be possible to have a small startup script that only loads the real page. This real page is always on a different "random" place, so people do not easily find it.

But if they do, and you can identify them, you can connect them to the worst website ever, that spams popups and downloads.
I think you can even serve the browser its own data, to congest itself.

Thanks for the ideas.

Can you elaborate? What extra information could we gain from such a honeypot that we don't already have?
