Recently I started getting a bunch of abandoned carts in my Reports section of the customer abandoned carts.
For one day they had racked up over a million dollars worth of product orders using the same product multiple times added to the cart.
Sometimes they went in as a guest, but other times they used ficticious emails tocreate an account.

Anyone else experienceing this?

We had one site report it going further- they had someone placing bunches of orders for the same product using fraudulent credit card numbers. I think when I searched for the user name, there were 800+ instances because they were allowing anonymous checkout. By the way- they were accepting orders that hadn't passed AVS and CVV checks. When they changed those settings the orders stopped coming in, but I don't know if the person quit trying.

This is probably being done automatically through a logarithm trying to hack the site. This is where a firewall with rate limiting rules comes in extremely handy. If the firewall sees the same pattern within a given time frame, it will ask for verification to ensure you are a human, or you can slow down the process by adding pause gaps.
