Fixed browser UA "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36". Enumerates faceted-filter URL combinations (?attr_a=x|y&attr_b=z...) of e-commerce category pages at ~3 req/s across hundreds of rotating IPs, in waves (2026-09-18/19, 2026-09-23 from ~20:00 UTC). Caused CPU saturation on the web server. Not a Google service: IP absent from Google's published Googlebot/crawler ranges, no self-identifying UA. Blocked by UA + IP rules.
