Hi there,
Have any of you recently noticed a lot of ssh scanning coming from amazons EC

Today alone I've seen approx 4m attempts from EC2 IPs on just 20 nodes on our
network.
Has anyone any experience with Amazons abuse people?
Thanks,
Paul

Well, there's spam originating from there, and some cracked scripts generating

That's not too surprising, since any unix-like system

recently added elastic IPs, which are assigned to a customer rather
than a specific instance. To the rest of the world, they're static IPs.
