Seeing what appears to be a distributed scrape or AZ coming from multiple network from multiple overseas locations. From what I can tell predominantly bon English speaking countries.

I've had to be pretty heavy handed with the catpcha challenges for those countries for now. It seems to have helped, will keep an eye on things. Hopefully not too much collateral damage to legitimate users....

Cloudflare's security features are serving us very well:

The red line shows the blocks put in place stopping a recent surge in hits. If the blocks weren't in place, AZ would likely be almost entirely offline.
