Thanks for reporting. This will help us tune our classifier.
Can you unflag my account, please? These warnings are annoying and yes, the bot is working slower due to "security checks". Next time maybe don't roll-out half-baked security features, this is how you lose your subscription base, specially web-developers that rely on crawling and public surface analytics. This is legal. This is done by Google. The crawling that I am doing, for example, is competitive analysis research in order to help me in refining my website commercial model. How many similar issues before this makes news and cuts your subscription revenue, lets guess together.
