autoemailspider

email harvester or poorly named spider?

[zem]

Has anyone come across a spider with the UA "autoemailspider"? Is it an email address harvester, as the name would seem to imply?

I first saw it March 4, only a few hits at first, then suddenly a hundred or so in the past few days. It seems to originate from Korean IPs in different blocks. Each IP usually only hits one or two pages at a time.

A quick search of the forum turned up nothing. Apologies if it's off topic.

Hi. I found this website: [autoemailspider.com....] I wonder if it's the same thing? The site is in Korean and from little sense Bablefish could make of it they seem to be marketing an email program of some kind.

/edited to add last sentence.

They were all through my sites a week or so ago, traced the IP's to China. Have gotten spam email also traceable to same are since, so am getting motivated to ban the whole darn continent.
