Voxility has been scraping me for a while and I’ve banned their hostnames, but I could not look up lh27033.voxility.net, so this started the research.

M ulberries, we have in the backyard, compliments of our large black mulberry tree. With it comes the mulberry mess. Well, you either frown or you make the best of the situation. In this case: mulberry sorbet.
It started as a sproutlet at the side of our house. I was unsure if it was actually a mulberry as there were 3 or 4 different types of leaves growing from the same plant. I thought it was, so transplanted it to a sunny location and waited 4 years until it started fruiting. It has been going strong ever since.
hosted-by.blazingfast.io spammed me, so I looked them up. They are an orderly shop.

client.yota.ru spammed me so I did research. This Russian spammer makes it difficult to track them down. They are prolific. They also have the host name wimax-client.yota.ru that they also use to spam.

customer.clientshostname.com scraped me, and the name is very generic, so I thought to research it. clientshostname.com has a lot of customer names prepended to it, so this excludes all their names. Three IP ranges should do you.

host671420043112.direcway.com is a whisper bot that content scraped me. They are unique in that their hostname is somewhat ambiguous, making machine reading more difficult. All octets can be 2 or 3 digits long, allowing for much ambiguity.
whisper is a very much hated botnet that continues to attack my site, one ip at a time, small but relentless.

S uspicious, we were, that Little Weed was burning through our internet bandwidth quota very quickly. Even with wifi off, how could this happen? Some Android apps have the ability to turn on wifi by themselves and communicate.
Little Weed noticed that one of his apps, Head Soccer, updated without his knowledge, so he asked to take the phone off our wifi network. This app, Head Soccer, has following permissions:
