One of our customers, Sainsbury's in the UK, is targeted by a DDoS
attack running at a constant 5 - 6.5 Gbps since Feb 27th.  The attack
type is Reflected Spoofed DDoS. The attack is mitigated. 

 

Sainsburys is mentioned in
http://anonops.blogspot.com/2012/02/anonymous-hacks-us-prison-contractor
s.html so it may be the anon group.

 

I need to do a traceback from which ASNs the traffic with the spoofed
source IP originates.

 

Can the nspsec community please check from which ASNs you receive UDP
traffic with source IP 62.25.72.2?

 

All UDP traffic from source IP 62.25.72.2 is spoofed.


Thanks in advance
