Hi,
I'm seeing a massive increase in connection attempts since 7am EDT
this morning.
Most is being rejected because of not existing users but the majority
that is getting through is hitting
"Sanesecurity.Casino.11228.UNOFFICIAL".
Back skatter? Someone forged the return address? We had this the other
day which almost took us offline.
Nope, spam from infected machines, not back scatter.
It just stopped at exactly 10am EDT, and in those 3 hours we had close
to 12 million connections.
We usually have about 500k in a day.
Regards,
Rick
