I (and probably many people) am a victim of malicious attacks of Amazon AWS customers performed under Amazon IP ranges. Still no solution.

What did you ended up with doing?

There are enormous amount of IP address by Amazon with malicious requests made to our sites even hosted overseas.

Shame!

Best regards,

Onur

In three days I’ve had 20 attempts of logging in to my website as “admin.” The only reason I believe it wasn’t as much is due to banning entire IP blocks.

The first 5 notifications I received was when I decided to start looking up the IP blocks and banning them on my server’s firewall. I reported the first 5 attempts but felt it was pointless. Every attempted login was from a different IP address, all belonging to Amazon Technologies.

A few of the reports don’t look like they’re going to be received as I’m getting mail delayed errors for abuse@amazon.com. What’s even more annoying is all of the info Amazon wants one to send in order for a report to be accepted. That was another factor in me ceasing to report any more abuse and just banning the IP blocks.

The more market and money they seem to get, the worse we seem to get it. Reminds me a lot of some recent dealings with EMC.
