c# - Google Maps DOS attack -
we're using google's geocoding service on our website allow users enter zip code , find nearby locations. we've been having problem exceeding request limit of 25,000 per day (for 90 consecutive days). shouldn't getting traffic , i've found, when enabling logging, got 133 requests in 35 minutes. seems way much. i'm suspecting kind of scripted attack. can verify & prevent it?
i ended reading through api docs again , finding should've been coded geocoding request occurs on client-side. updated our pages use client script make geocoding request. way if user wants abuse it, blocked, not server. client script sends page lat , long coordinates needed , goes there without having interface google on server side.
