Description I think it would be useful to integrate the Scamalytics API into Composr.

https://scamalytics.com

It could be a new item on the investigate user page (Scamalytics would not be queried automatically, but an admin can click to query). There could also perhaps be a configuration option allowing site admins to specify whether or not to do a Scamalytics lookup on any IP addresses that trigger a hack attack and include the results in the hack attack message.

We might also consider the option to use Scamalytics in the antispam. However, we would strongly advise against this due to potential false-positives and because it would significantly increase the number of queries performed.

Composr should cache Scamalytics lookups to reduce API query hits as Scamalytics only allows a certain number of queries per month. Perhaps set the cache lifetime to 1 week.
