How can I stop a bot from placing abandoned orders on my ecommerce site?

I finally resolved this issue by updating the “Customer Accounts” to “NEW” in settings. Its been a month now and I have not had a single bot subscribe to my mailing list nor create an abandoned cart. I still see the “bot” ping on the live map (it was the same place on the map every time), but no abandoned carts are created and no fake mailing list subscriptions. Win!
