what could be the reason for an amazon ip in my nginx access.log file?

3.88.16.48 - - [11/Nov/2023:19:20:07 -0300] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 615 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36"

Just about anyone can spin up resources in AWS and do whatever until they’re caught.

Pro tip set up user agent blocks in nginx and have it respond with a 444 it will have nginx stop responding instead of giving a 403. Block anything under chrome 100.
