They are certainly intensely aware of it. I don't know the how any longer--for a long time, yes it was practically a given that they'd beat the crap out of you for any suspicious action.

They've definitely, patently and clearly updated those algos. I don't know how they wrote it, but it's obviously managed/tracked/identified differently now (KU abuse, I mean).
