Bloomberg's website is displaying a CAPTCHA verification to users, requiring them to confirm they are not robots before accessing content. The security measure was triggered by unusual activity detected from certain computer networks.
Bloomberg's website is currently displaying a CAPTCHA verification screen to some users, blocking access to content until they confirm they are human. The message reads: "We've detected unusual activity from your computer network. To continue, please click the box below to let us know you're not a robot."
The security measure appears to be triggered by automated traffic patterns that resemble bot behavior, such as rapid page requests or unusual browsing patterns. When activated, users must complete the verification challenge before they can access Bloomberg's news and market data.
According to the error message, users experiencing this block should ensure their browser supports JavaScript and cookies, and that they are not blocking these from loading. The reference ID provided (61e3fb71-014f-11f1-bb6c-2cb9c487bf56) can be used when contacting Bloomberg's support team for assistance.
This type of security measure is common among major news and financial websites to prevent automated scraping, DDoS attacks, and other malicious activities that could disrupt service for legitimate users. Financial data platforms like Bloomberg are particularly targeted by automated systems attempting to harvest market information.
For users who continue to experience access issues after completing the CAPTCHA, Bloomberg provides support contact information and references their Terms of Service and Cookie Policy for additional details about website usage and security measures.
