We have not confirmed whether BigUpDataBot follows robots.txt. Add a robots.txt rule, then check your logs to see that it stopped, and block it by user agent if it did not.
Add "User-agent: BigUpDataBot" followed by "Disallow: /" to the robots.txt file at the root of your site. To enforce it, block requests whose user agent contains "BigUpDataBot" at your WAF. In Transfon Security that is one User Agent block rule.
No. robots.txt is voluntary, so BigUpDataBot may not follow it, and anyone can send BigUpDataBot's user agent, so a fake BigUpDataBot ignores your rule. Enforce the rule where requests arrive, at your WAF, and check the source network.
