Hi
Well this is interesting. Read the news on "Anonymous" attacking Bank
of Americal yesterday morning.
(https://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/10542-Bank-of-America-Hit-By-Anonymous-DDoS-Attack.html)

Came to work, a small production marketing plant, and while doing
morning network work checks begin to notice various "port scans",
UDP/ICMP requests. AND THEN..BAM! for over 5 hrs went to no internet
until I was able to get ATT to block such to our broadcast IP from the
backbone.

The mystery is the bank of America part or spoof of. Here is two of
the IP's used that I was able to capture with Wireshark:

Internet Protocol, Src: wwwui.global.bankofamerica.com (171.159.228.173),
Internet Protocol, Src: 165.48.113.48 (165.48.113.48),

Backscatter from source-spoofed attacks?  Very common, actually..

Anyone else have this happen or know of someone?
