This is what I thought, so when people say "yeah, but they could be
spoofed" this isn't a valid argument.

A huge number of requests going to your server with an originating EC2
IP needs to be shut down first, questions asked after.

Only Amazon can fix this. They have not only the IP info but also full
customer data, including banking info.

What possible excuse can they provide? Is this why they are silent?
There's no good excuse other than, "it would cut into our profits".

Maybe we could get GigaOm interested or some other high-visibility blog.
