Many of those infected hosts are behind NAT’s and your abuse form would be the equivalent of reporting an entire region for a single scan.
But hey! Change the world, amirite?

Meh. I know everyone is giving OP the piss, but I used to fret about this type of stuff long time ago. LOL That became a job. Then I learned a little more and realized I wasn’t being targeted specifically by some hooded specter in a dimly lit basement emphatically announcing ‘I’m in!’, but that these were bots. Sophisticated bots tho, I’ll give them that.

My general attitude is similar to yours. Let OP figure out that the reporting and blocking is basically just creating more noise that has to gets filtered out and bot supply is basically infinite.

Yeah with Amazon’s sheer size this has definitely been done before, curious what limits op is going to hit. My guess is they have a quota for submissions, and they’ll be banned from submitting tickets.
