RE: Fwd: Re: Digital Island sponsors DoS attempt?

Unfortunately, in this case I am not a customer of Digital Island in any
way, nor have I given them authorization to hammer my network 441 times (and
counting) in the last two hours.

However I'm thinking that someone else is spoofing their identity in some
way...at any rate they should be aware of this problem.

I am sure, Digital Island gets the necessary permissions from network
owners before hammering them with those requests, right?
