[asterisk-users] Being attacked by an Amazon EC2 ...

[Erik L]

FWIW, we're seeing similar attacks. The below is what I posted on NANOG earlier, which summarizes Amazon's stellar abuse response. I've also received an off-list e-mail from someone who was getting hit with 6Gbps of traffic from them (and was not able to reach anyone there either).

Time to start blocking them at the edge. Let their customers complain to them instead.

Subject: Seeking Amazon EC2 abuse contact

Could someone from Amazon EC2 please contact me off-list regarding an abuse issue from one of their IPs? Alternatively, could someone please send me the contact details of someone there?

E-mailing the abuse e-mail listed in WHOIS per their instructions, including all pertinent data, results in an auto-reply indicating to use a form on their site. Submitting the form results in "There has been an error while submitting your data. Please try again later." Calling their supposed NOC (as per WHOIS) results in "You have reached the legal department at Amazon...please leave a message".

Thanks
