There was a topic the other day where Lizzie, I think, asked why the number of guests online was large and wondered why they never bothered to join. Jaime said it was because they were mainly bots.
Well...I just took a peek at what these ‘guests’ were viewing and, it turns out, they were looking at members profiles. Members who haven’t been active for years...two of them looking at Dbugs profile. Take a look yourself, they are after...information.......about you, where you live, what you drive, your age.............be afraid.

See we,ve got 15 on now.

I've just looked.  Tunnie and Webby were getting checked out!  GCHQ?

Uncle Rupert is checking on Tunnie and the car park solicitors on Webby.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Terbert, LazyDocker, Sassanach, Lord Opti and TB are also getting the once over!

I've noticed a couple of times these 'Guests' are printing topics, so some are real people. 

And also expect a rash of new members as several Guests were apparently registering for new accounts last time I looked.

No, they're probably trawling the print version of the site because it contains the basic text they're after without a load of other cruft that makes it look pretty on the screen.

Like the Christmas smilies?

Crikey. Are they really looking at your profile. .What if you are in the witness protection programme or a wanted criminal?

Maybe they are Russians looking for the next president of Britain. We could save them the effort and point them straight to Brackley.

[Sir Tigger KC]

One of those scary bots is viewing this thread!

Of course the guests will include GCHQ web crawlers looking for key words along with the other 5-eyes agencies that keep us safe, and also the Russian FSB, GRU & SVG who work as rivals each running their own operations, Ukrainian SBU, and all other intelligence agencies, including the EU and Mossad will be doing their job.

Just don't mention TB, culls, guns & bullets Pike or it will trigger one of GCHQ slowesh web crawlers, person of interest triggers. The real serous parallel processing and £££m are the massive parallel processing computers looking for key words in real time that ISPs must legally run in the UK and I won't mention TB, culls, guns & bullets Private Pike, and make TB a real person of interest that the mega fast Fast Fourier Transform analysis computers that telecoms companies must legally run and will now be looking for TB discussing culls, guns & bullets voice analysis keywords on the phone along with hot wiring his gay phone mike and camera in the bath which will put them off their tea, but they will settle again as they watch and listen to him watching his Samsung, LG, Phony or whatever TV. Probably, not a good idea right now for him as a person of interest to be watching RT, Al Jezeera news or ISIS terrorist videos.

This is the level of transparent intelligence we are all subject to, along with CCTV. All transparent so nothing for you to see here, please move along and get on with your lives, while our brave security force put theirs on the line keeping us safe.

Safeguards are a fine line and with the UK it is much finer than the US which after Watergate and Tricky Dicky Nixon have generally ironically been stronger than ours despite traitor Snowden and the rapist 'take the moral high ground Russian agent' Assange shouting from the hills otherwise. I personally hate backstabbers especially those that commit treason like those two.

Something trawled yesterday morning, using a shit load of bots simultaneously, and promptly killed the frontend web server for about 2hrs.  Opps.

Yes, I must admit this has rather surprised me.  "Guests" actually being bots?!!  What the hell, that is scary, and yes if they are looking at our personal information, let alone what we express in posts..well!!!  I know about the GCHQ possibilities, but that does not worry me.  It is the bastard scammers, con artists, general criminals, etc, that do.

Now we are being told many of our "chips" in Apple products, along with others produced since the 1990's have a major flaw that allows for potential hacking.

Any one for going back to quill pen and paper?  Mind you, even then agents of the monarch, spies and conspirators were hard at work "looking in" to find out personal secrets and plans.

Yes, nothing new in intelligence gathering, but the speed and effectiveness of how it is done is, and getting better / worse, dependent on occupation / point of view.

On the news they quoted the "1990's" TB*, so if it is only since 2011ish that is still worrying for me with my post 2013 magic gadgets!

* and this is one example of what is being said "out there" in the media:
