Voice has been under some pretty intense bot attacks for the last few days, which resulted in a few service outages. We're talking millions of hits a day of bots trying (and failing) to compromise the Voice service.

I have now added some extra monitoring software which blocks these bots, and so hopefully things will settle down now.

This also caused the web stats to become rather problematic for a while, because there were Just Too Many Hits to process. I've improved the processing scripts now too, so stats are working great again. (though there may be a few missed days in your stats history, sorry!)

Thanks

Joe

Thanks Joe - this is much appreciated!

Our analytics were showing China and Singapore hits - all bots I presume.
