Baidu advertising slot under attack?

[polonus]

Hi folks,

Look at this script:  htxp://www.sopopo.com/d/js/acmsd/thea6.js
Is it suspicious or benign? Link syntax issues?
Site was infected with trojan password stealer...

And we questioned why so damn many Baidu spiders crawling the forums in comparison to the big boys Google, MSN and Yahoo.

I still don't know f this doesn't place an adverse load on the forum server/speed at times.

Hi DavidR and Asyn,

So this was not only obvious to China's Regulators but also to our DavidR. Very good combining of facts
always will bring rewarding insight   
"Well it did not help towards bringing down that baidu related server load, did it?"

Bidders with the highest bid would get the top slot  for their product by via option contracts 
as reporters for CCTV have commented.  "Time for some to take some short positions there!  ".

Hi DavidR,

To go off-topic a bit. Baidu bot seems to ignore disallow robot.txt
and it is scraping literary anything, image files included.
This is Baidu spider, not the full string...
It is best to have Baidu wait
up to 999 seconds for a page request.
See: http://gelm.net/How-to-block-Baidu-with-PHP.htm (article chelm.net)
this is to better perform on limited bandwidth servers,

I know if it the baidu spider and not the full string, hence my <off-topic> bit, but it is a pain in the rear why it would require 88 spiders and more on occasion to index the forums.

Problem is despite a comment already in another area to block/restrict baidu nothing appears to have been done. But a user can't check the robot.txt file, so I don't know if that may have been modified, if so 88 baidu spiders ignored it (now Baidu = 100 of 109).

Yes, same thing here really; why would it need 100 Baidu spiders scanning the whole forum when the only real area of interest would be the Chinese sub-forum, with that traffic 1 spider would be all that would be required.

Absolutely..!! And you/we know, who has to answer/check/resolve that.
