I regularly see "fake googlebot" alerts. But I just searched the last 7 days and found not one single "fake msnbot" or "fake bingbot". I understand fake googlebots are more common, but I find this very unlikely. Therefore, I would like to confirm this works as intended. could someone please tell me if they've found "fake msnbot" or "fake bingbot" alerts in their logs?
thank you

Microsoft still uses msnbot in the UA field, example:
