So it accessed public information using APIs and then republished that information online.

I do this. Am I an uncontrollable bot?

Straight to jail.

I also could not understand what the “meddling” was, other than accessing data without using the rendered webpages? Did it use the API directly?

  • Only way I'd described using an API as meddling is if it wasn't a publicly documented API (yet was still unauthenticated) or if a bot stole a token from a repo or both.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. We need better reporting on actual attacks vs. benign behavior.
