A web security system has blocked access to a requested webpage after detecting potentially automated or suspicious traffic patterns. The blocking mechanism, powered by PerimeterX security technology, requires users to complete a verification process before gaining access to the content.
The security system displays a message stating "Before we continue..." and instructs users to "Press & Hold to confirm you are a human (and not a bot)." This type of verification system is commonly deployed by websites to protect against automated bots, scrapers, and other forms of malicious traffic that could compromise site performance or security.
When users encounter this block, they are presented with an interactive verification button that requires a press-and-hold action to confirm human interaction. The system generates a unique reference ID for each blocked session, in this case "8882968e-a99a-11f0-bae9-b346dba1eed2," which can be used for troubleshooting or support purposes.
The blocking system includes fallback mechanisms and error handling procedures. If the primary verification system fails to load, users may see an error message suggesting they check their network connection or disable ad-blocking software, as these tools can sometimes interfere with security verification processes.
This type of security measure has become increasingly common across websites as organizations seek to protect their digital infrastructure from automated attacks while maintaining accessibility for legitimate human users. The verification process typically takes only a few seconds to complete once the user follows the on-screen instructions.
