Just a small correction. Basic authentication doesn't utilize 'digest' term as it mixes with Digest from the Digest authentication.
base64(username:password) is not a 'digest', but just encoded credentials. Neither encoded value is 'hash'. Hash is a one-way cryptographical operation whereas base64 can be decoded back.
Digest is a collection of several additional properties like nonce, cnonce, URI, etc.
Further on. Adding just a timestamp doesn't help security much as the attacker has this info as well (to some extent, which decreases the amount of tries he would need to generate a correct hash)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
