We don’t know exactly what they were

All of these are robots that registered via a form on the site and sometimes returned back. trying to achieve, because they took action in time.

Our example shows that no one is immune to spambot attacks. What it will turn out to be depends on the spammers who contacted you. Here are some of the consequences of a spambot attack on a site:

spam emails are sent to the mailbox that receives data from the form;

the quality of the subscriber base is declining: there are cases when there america phone number list are more bot subscribers than human subscribers, and this threatens to worsen the reputation;

the site's statistics are getting worse: new users are appearing, but there is no use for them;

a large number of requests from bots loads the server, which causes pages to open slowly;

bots look for vulnerabilities in the code and can gain access to the server;

comments like these appear on the site:Such comments scare away the real audience on the site, and it gradually dies.

In the worst case, bots infect the site by introducing scripts, for example, to use it for spam mailings on behalf of technical support. It happens that during an attack, they launch spam scripts. The scheme is as follows: they register in the form on behalf of another user, whose address they took from the public domain. In the field with the name or in the comments field, they write an advertising text with a link to a fraudulent site. Then the same user receives a letter from you asking to confirm the subscription, opens it and, perhaps, clicks on the link out of interest.

This is how bots use your good reputation. After such an attack, it is quite possible to end up on a blacklist.
