    I think a lot of peope understandably misunderstand this post because it doesn’t really explain the situation. After reading OP’s comments I gather that OP put a new server online (not on AWS) and was immediately port scanned by a host that is on AWS. Since OP did not consent to being port scanned, they filled out an abuse complaint with AWS, the hoster the scan came from, out of principle, knowing that it probably won’t do much. Which is totally fine if that is how you want to spend your time.

    I think what most commenters thought is that OP was hosting with AWS and complained to them that someone else scanned their server. This does not seem to be the case.
