Afair it was a crawling bot, trying a few combinations (like asset98/digits) but I wasn't around so I'm not too sure. But that seems to be the way things went, considering the tweets that followed. It is to date unknown wether that was scripted or intentional after seeing the bots, although the bot theory seems fit given this tweet by So1029:
:
We can't reach Asset 98 but we do still have his clear transmissions. Prove you're worthy. Show us that you're able. Send us the grid. You found the grid, the letters and the numbers. Tell us how they fit together. Prove you're no longer slaves to the machines.

I caught up with the ARG shortly after that, so I'm not 100% sure.
On a side note, I'm off the work since Monday, deep inspection of the frame stills will ensue. And I might even apply a couple new tricks learnt while doing the Intel ARG. Still don't know if they'll be useful.
