AI bot hacking/scraping Home Assistant (lemmy.world)

I pay for the Nabu Casa subscription for remote access to Home Assistant. Mostly as a way to give them money for a great service, but it's convenient and felt pretty secure. It should be the only remote way into Home Assistant. About an hour ago I got a login attempt notice that an IP was trying to access API/config. The IP is in some bad IP databases. What I found interesting was that the log shows an AI bot. A Google Gemini bot specifically. Makes me worry that AI is going to make yet another aspect of life frustrating and unfun.

I've been seeing this on my HA instance too. I expose HA though cloudflared. So I did some investigation and google has several primary ASNs I blocked them all via Cloudflare. The GCP one is AS396982 so that may be enough but I blocked them all because fuck Google.
