ROBOTS.TXT? No

They call themselves Website Explorer. I call them Website Stealer!

From their website: Website Explorer is a graphical website tool that allows you to remotely Explore, View, Edit, Delete, Chmode, test CGI Scripts and Upload files to your website! Right from your own browser!

Took every file from one of my smaller sites, including disallowed ones, which it wouldn't know about because it never read robots.txt.

I've had similar experience with it in the past. Been banned for quite a while now, but thanks for the heads-up. I forget about all these malicious culprits. Seems like there are more bad doers than good.
