Well... I don't know if they actually did anything )-: However, after 
going through their automated submission widget the attack last time did 
stop... Some 12 hours later. I suspect the poor sod who'd EC2 got hacked 
ran out of credit or something...

Their whole system is designed as a device to waste the time & effort of 
those trying to submit reports, etc. to them.
