Good morning,
First time posting to Code4Lib, but have been a watcher for several years. I'm curious from strictly a numbers standpoint how many libraries might've been impacted recently (say the last couple of weeks or so) by massive bot harvesting of data, basically resulting in a DDoS attack, against your ILS, Discovery Layers, or other systems. I'm actually also curious if non-Innovative/Clarivate product libraries are seeing similar issues. We are an innovative/Clarivate product shop, so we have some awareness that others with those products were impacted. Again, aside from curiosity if you're a non-Clarivate shop, I'm not looking for specifics just wondering about the scope of the attacks against other institutions/orgs.
Regards,
