Interesting reading about a German Organized Crime Network and security hacking tips also about the MJ12bot..

I dont trust the MJ12bot anymore bcs its a lot of reports coming to Admin Tools Pro from this "hacker"

I will test this in robotsfile and see if it have any effect.

You can of course blacklist their user agent and / or IP addresses with Admin Tools :)

Yes I will check that but seems to have some implications if you block a lot of IP ranges for example from Russia though its a lot! :)

Check this cyber security company that is very innovative with protectiong webapplications and db a leader according to Gartner. https://www.imperva.com/
