Hi all,

Good news on the Wanadoo.fr front! Their upstream provider, Opentransit
is
now aware of the scope of the scanning activity from Wanadoo.fr network
space and they have requested a list of source IPs involved in scanning
and/or attacks. Opentransit has said that they will be escalating this
issue
with Wanadoo.fr management, and they need some data to go with it.

Please forward any IDS or server logs showing Wanadoo.fr activity - the
more
source IPs we send them, the easier it will be for them to enact some
positive change at Wanadoo.fr. We should be able to get this wrapped up
very
soon!

Thanks,
