   Oxylabs, Decodo and three more scraping brands unite under Source

   Five proxy and web-scraping brands — Oxylabs, Decodo, Webshare, ScrapingBee and Honeygain — now formally sit under a single Vilnius-based umbrella called Source, after years of being sold and reviewed as rivals; three of them appear in TechRadar's own best-proxy picks. Source says demand across its companies rose fourfold in a year as AI agents, next-generation search tools and frontier AI products pull live data from the web, that its systems process 1.5 million requests per second, and that it is expanding into web search APIs built for AI agents. The group says it has no customers or products of its own, handling patents, procurement, hiring and compliance while each brand keeps its own team, product strategy and customer base; the report also notes that Oxylabs is a defendant in Reddit's scraping lawsuit.

   Google reportedly serves poisoned search results to AI crawlers, rank trackers

   TechNews reports that SEO rank-tracking vendors say Google has since September been returning “poisoned” search results pages to automated scraping tools: the pages look normal but replace many top sites with unrelated results. Nozzle said it analyzed 27.5 million SERPs across 49 countries and found 8.0% of identifiable result pages were poisoned between Sept. 13 and Oct. 9, versus 0.17% in a baseline period; DemandSphere reported about 11% of its daily checks were anomalous. Google has not confirmed the claim, and the industry view that the practice targets crawlers used for AI answers remains speculation; Google’s September spam update overlapped the period.
