It would be hard to find someone to just give you away that sort of database since everyone collects and store data according to their needs. Looking at your blog posts, it seems that you know programming. Have you tried scraping the data from the respective stores?

Unless the web crawlers are intentionally spoofing their user agent to identify as browsers, I don't think that they are counted.

Everyone who received the spam should pastebin the emails along with the header and share them for comparison. If those spam messages are found to be similar then it can be pinpointed that they all have originated from the same person/group and it was no usual hit & miss technique by the spammers which the moderator is contemplating about.

I have also seen automated accounts being operated by bots similar to those twitter bots who follow you and unfollow you if you don't start following them within specified amount of time.

Yes, that is true. I think most of the people here do not condone breaking into other people's systems and harming them. Rather the community inspires curiosity and seek of knowledge. But the manifesto is very relevant to the case of Aaron.

"We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals." "Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for."
