My website has been inundated with Amazon spam bot traffic. They have been hitting my robots.txt file. Does anyone have any advice on how to mitigate this traffic? Thank you!
I should add - I do have the IP Filter plugin, and I've tried adding IP addresses, but there are so many...and I fear - since IP addresses change so much - I could be blocking good traffic.
1) Web Application Firewall (WAF). Does your host have one? Otherwise Cloudflare or similar.
2) Contact Amazon: If the spam bot traffic is specifically coming from Amazon's servers, consider reaching out to Amazon's support to report the issue. They may be able to investigate and mitigate the problem.
