We had 4 Catalyst 3560 (insecure) switches that were ping flooding a Wikileaks address.  Here is a sample of the flow data:



                                                                          AS NUMBER          PORT

START TIME          STOP TIME           SOURCE IP       DESTINATION IP    SRC   DST PROT   SRC   DST  PACKETS     OCTETS

I haven't seen any of the traffic aimed at PayPal, Visa and Mastercard.
