Dos attacks but I’m not target

Hello, I was just wondering what these dos attacks meant. I keep getting the DOS attack below but it seems I'm not the target and it's teardrop derivatives and other stuff.

 

Description  Last occurrence Targetsource
[DoS attack: Ping Of Death] from 0.0.0.0, port 01Thu Oct 07 16:01:51 2021218.140.121.255:00.0.0.0:0

    Anyone have an idea? It was originally doing it only to that IP but now it's that one and a new one.

      But what I’m wondering is that the 218 is the target and the attacker is 0.0.0.0 what does that mean?
