Then what did he do?
https://gator.io does a pretty good job at identifying data center IP ranges
The short-term certs is an issue, but LE does automatic renewals and send expiration notices. However, I also use letsmonitor.org for monitoring/expiration alerts.
Since LE certs have 90 day expiration, I use a monitoring/notification service called https://letsmonitor.org
You can see visitors segmented by datacenter/TOR/spoofed user agent/hidden attributes. There is an API to score users in realtime.
The issue I've had with LetsEncrypt is the short expirations. LetsMonitor.org sets up an alert system for expirations
This works on all website certs, not just LetsEncrypt ones.
