Why is Google hitting my CloudFront?
Post Body
So I finally resolved the hotlinkers/leechers (no thanks to AWS Paid Support), but now I'm finding this in my logs:
2020-09-22 14:56:32 ATL52-C1 1270 66.249.88.146 GET [mydistropoint].cloudfront.net /movie/A/[first movie in that origin].mp4 403 - Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36 Google ( https://developers.google.com/ /web/snippet/) - - Error EQjHMNCyWjWJDUX92gxoGOWI-8Y9oa_yvvxxGWcN0-5bqOan-QYZ9Q== [mydistropoint].cloudfront.net http 396 0.000 - - - Error HTTP/1.1 - - 53876 0.000 Error text/html 919 - -

It does this over 2 minutes, then nothing for 5 minutes, then 2 more hits over 2 minutes.
I know from the error message that it's being blocked (as it should be), but why is it doing this, and should I add a blocking rule to my WAF as a "just-in-case"?
