This is HN plenty of us host servers at home and understand the obviously true fact that you can't really stop it forever.

But that obviously isn't what we're talking about here. We're talking about a massive multibillion dollar corporation breaking the rules of a community project they joined by committing a Jr Sysadmin grade fuck up and ghosting the people who's infrastructure they have now placed in the crosshairs of serious, enterprise grade automated vulnerability testing from a company who might now inadvertently be committing a felony.

That's a bit different than getting a few dozen lazy hits a day because some botnet got to your IP in the Shodan and saw the Plex port open.
