We are getting HAMMERED with a dictionary attack that is on a scale we have never experienced before.
We have recipient verification on our edge servers, so basically it's all just bouncing off us, but it has been impacting us as we've already had to up the maximum number of simultaneous SMTP connections 4-fold to handle the increased load. I'm starting to track the IPs, and so far after 30 minutes have found over 5000 separate IPs - so this Spambot army is pretty big. Is it only us, or are others seeing it too? -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
