Why is amazonaws scanning my website?
I have been getting several users trying to login to websites and getting hits from different IP addresses of amazonaws.com domain
For Eg: United States Ashburn, United States IP: 54.175.39.73 [unblock] [permanently blocked] Reason: Manual block by administrator Hostname: ec2-54-175-39-73.compute-1.amazonaws.com and last week, I banned their entire range via htaccess: deny from 67.202. and now they are trying to access using different IP Range I know it's not a search engine so can we safely bar amazonaws ip addresses? and I am wondering they might have a massive traunch of ip addresses at their disposal (the whole amazon network), so it won't be that easy to block individual range for each login attempt. I am sure that everyone might have experienced these scans should I block all access to a website for amazonaws.com |

Probably someone running an SEO tool on Amazon cloud to analyse your websites.

It will be a bot - Search G for blocking bots in htaccess or in your server config if you are running a vps
