Abnormal number of visits from Columbus Ohio IP address

Hi All

For the past 2 weeks, I have been getting an odd number of store visits on showing up on the live view from Columbus Ohio. It is very odd that they are still getting past the blocker for a few seconds due to the delay but it is always either when a customer visits or I get on my own site, and it is always 6 visits every time. Each day the visits come more and more, today it is at 160 visits. some days are higher. Does anyone know what this could be? my sales have dropped in the same time frame and I am concerned they have done something to steal my customers.

Do you have Twik installed in your apps? I had the same issue. I deleted Twik for 1 day and this stopped. I reinstalled it the next day and withing minutes I had 100 visits in my shop all from Columbus Ohio
