I assume it is possible that some software on “the bad machine” has been causing excess traffic to you, but I have no idea what software that is, and would be surprised if your response to that also includes accesses to the top-level https://www.w3.org/. Hence I doubt that I’m actually caught by your excess traffic “defences”.

Hi,

Can you please provide your IP address? This will help checking which
resources you are requesting.
Also, are you using browser addons that may send requests to our
website?

Regards,
