DoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange non-DHCP IP address connected to wifi
I'm getting lots of Dos attacks logged in my C3000 modem/router. They appear to be coming from inside my network, from my wifi. I keep seeing a device attached to my wifi with an IP address of 1.1.15...
In light of recent DDOS attacks on major websites like Amazon, Twitter, Reddit, etc... I read an article talking about botnets and how you could be part of one without you knowing. So i decided to check my logs on my c3700 and saw a couple of DOS Teardrop or derivitive logs. The Ip was one i havent seen before in my network, 100.131.130.0. The target was 73.241.60.32, which i believe is located in Rodeo California. I read Amazon has servers in Northern California but didn't say any city in specific. Question is, should I be concerned? Is my personal information conpromised? Am I overreacting?
