Do you have a source for this? Not saying you're wrong, I'd just like to know more

Not really, given that the work we do in that direction isn't exactly public. You can recreate the scenario though. Spin up a wiki of some sort, scrapers love wikis, ideally enable some form of caching, and just sit back and watch scrapers throw random shit in the URL parameters.
