AntiScamBOT Update: Stronger Image Security
Summary
AntiScamBOT announces security and performance improvements to image scanning. The update ignores oversized images, blocks phishing payload patterns, and enforces image dimension limits to prevent memory exhaustion attacks. The scanner now automatically adjusts processing speed during scam spikes to stabilize server load and conserve resources, improving community safety and reliability.
Changelog 5/22/2026
Security Improvements
- Added protection against oversized images that could overload the server — oversized images are safely ignored before being processed.
- Added phishing payload detection — suspicious file patterns in images are now blocked.
- Added image dimension limits to prevent memory exhaustion attacks.
Performance Improvements
- The image-scanning system now automatically adjusts how fast it processes images. When scam traffic spikes, it speeds up. When it's quiet, it slows down to save resources. Users shouldn't notice any difference, but server load is much more stable.
