Nice big old port scan. Brand new server too. Just a few days old so there is nothing to find. Don’t worry I contacted AWS. Stay safe out there.

Not on AWS and yes I know I can’t stop port scanning and bad traffic is a thing. Doesn’t stop me from filling out the form. I think to piss off you and the other commenters, I’ll write a script to auto fill out AWS abuse forms. Also script kiddy or bot, all the same to me, their hosting provider is getting a message from me
Port scanning isn’t abuse but automatically filing frivilous abuse reports is.
Sounds like you are the script kiddie here
Good luck with that, I suppose. Botnets can have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of infected hosts that will endlessly scan everything on the interwebs. 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.
