This "report" is a mess.

It tries to suggest criminals are operating at scale but all the evidence presented suggests it is a very small scale operation (and data from elsewhere shows that it is one which is being actively tackled, albeit at times with inappropriate tools with collateral consequences).

It briefly references a gossipy and very likely misleading news article which is actually irrelevant to this particular issue.

It tries to present "thousands of posts" as evidence of an "active website", except a "discussion forum" on the brink of death might have similar numbers, and it's not unusual for individual users (on inactive and non-abusive) websites to have thousands of posts apiece (particularly, the "Admin" account). It's even possible for an admin to pay people to create posts to make their own website appear more appealing to prospective users than competing sites.

And that is in the case of a single site, this report appears to reference as many as a dozen or more, likely further diluting their activity.

It references an "SEO firm" (of questionable repute) as a source of "traffic data". The only issue is that this SEO firm, which specializes in providing dirt on competitors, does not have access to site traffic data. They can only provide estimates.

In any case, even in the case of some genuine activity, this is still very weak material to use for trumped up AI scare pieces.
