There has been alot of customers on our network who were complaining  
about ACK
scan reports coming from 207.126.64.181. We had no choice but to block  
that
single IP until the attacks let up. It was a decision I made with the  
gentleman
that owns the colo facility currently hosts 4chan. There was no other  
way around
it. I'm sure AT&T is probably blocking it for the same reason. 4chan  
has been
under attack for over 3 weeks, the attacks filling up an entire GigE.  
If you
want to blame anyone, blame the script kiddies who pull this kind of  
stunt.
