Dos attacks in log
I've been getting a bunch of Dos attacks from the monitoring log, but I look up the IP on who.is and all of them are legitimate companies like
DoD Network Information Center
Apple
Amazon
Palo Alto Networks
Should I be worried? I heard most of them are fake reports but since these are actual companies does that mean im fine?
- It's too sensitive so it's a misreading, if you had a real attack your internet connectivity would very likely be impacted

and the other ones come from charter communications and I have spectrum internet
- No you don't need to be worried, they'll just be connections you've made at some point to different services etc
Why do they come up as Dos attacks? (like Fraggle attacks) and how do I know when the dos attack is real?
