Sigh. Was pleased yesterday that I managed to thwart some odd auto-subscribe script on Podnews's front page. Today, whoever it is has worked out how to bypass that.

Every one is from a different IP address, so there's some form of botnet being used. Everyone is using Chrome v120. None of the emails actually confirm their subscription.

I've a few ideas on how to combat them but *so* want to avoid a ReCaptcha on that subscribe form.
