Personally, with that kind of abuse I'd start blacklisting Digital
Ocean IP addresses, or even entire netblocks, and be done with it.

**And I say this as a DO customer.** (But perhaps for not much longer,
and this is the reason why.)

Their system of being able to fire-up, kill, and fire-up new droplets
so easily is a Godsend for network abusers, and they don't appear to
be doing much, if anything, to limit the abuse from their networks.

So bad has their reputation become that, when I recently complained
to some on-line colleagues about my DO servers being blacklisted by
"AT&T" they responded (paraphrasing) "No surprise. DO is a problem."

Regards,
Jim
