I'm getting a lot of traffic from 216.183.81.nnn Wget/1.10.2 for the pass two months. This is one of the few I can't seem to identify. Anybody know who this might be?

Haven't beem hacked to my knowledge though quite a few have tried.

I now remember this company from a year ago when the who-is was clearer. At that time they engaged in data gathering for other companies. Basically know what your competition is doing and work it your advantage also reputation management. I'm almost positive I had them blocked from another IP. I better check with my hosting company to see if there are any ties, or if it deals with E-Mail Defense.
