[nsp-sec] DDoS to the Presidential web site of Uruguay

They may be blocking at their borders but the drops are occurring much sooner then that.

chi1-qwest-2.chi.seabone.net is the last router to reply to the traceroute.
That is a border router in chicago owned by seabone.net.
Next hop should probably have been a seabone core or agg router but it never got there so from my pov it is being dropped by seabone.net.
