email scrapers - update participants list?
Hiya folks, Looks like we’ve been getting a small volume of spam based on seemingly culled email addresses from the MICE Participants list, located here: https://www.micemn.net/participants.html <https://www.micemn.net/participants.html> Any thoughts on obfuscating the email addresses listed there with a (at) and (dot) to help prevent? Or perhaps some other clickable CSS/Javascript thing that accomplishes the same? Or, perhaps the minimal amount of spam is worth the convenience of clicking… Thoughts? — Andrew Hoyos hoyosa@gmail.com
We received the same message. Another obfuscation method could be to link to peeringdb record to find contacts. They dealt with this a few years ago by hiding emails if not logged in. -- Chris Wopat Network Engineer, WiscNet wopat@wiscnet.net 608-210-3965 ________________________________ From: Andrew Hoyos <hoyosa@GMAIL.COM> Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2018 18:01 To: MICE-DISCUSS@LISTS.IPHOUSE.NET Subject: [MICE-DISCUSS] email scrapers - update participants list?
