This bot is stupidly broken - we've had to block a whole swathe of Azure ranges on our load balancer.

This particular 'bot' would start crawling in-line Javascript on a customer site, and then get stuck in an infinite loop requesting things like:

  /page/window.open
  /page/window.open/page/window.open
  /page/window.open/page/window.open/page/window.open
We opened an abuse report with Microsoft last week, but haven't really heard anything back. Over 500 IP addresses involved hitting dozens of our hosted sites, le sigh.

Unfortunately, we do see enough legitimate requests with that UA that we had to resort to the IP blocking. A bunch of /16's and a few smaller ranges... it feels dirty :(
