DDOS?

[jepper]

I have an email from VM to say that I've participated in a DDOS attack on 28/5 but info as to what times it occurred or what protocols were used, or any port numbers or target IPs. Can VM please reach out to discuss?

[jepper]

It should have said "no info" etc

Am I supposed to cry or laugh? How does this help?

I had a look at the router web interface - there's no provision for collecting traffic stats per (private) IP address, so I've no recourse to identify the device that may have caused this. Until this kind of insight is available on YOUR kit, please stop emailing bull. Just stop.
