DoS Attacks
So, I was looking through the Administration logs of my C7000 Cable Modem Router and found DoS Attacks such as the Ping of Death, Illegal Fragments, Port Scans, etc. It was coming from an I.P. "4.0.6.144" located in Las Vegas. This rogue I.P. had jumped onto my dad's phone when I looked on Attached Devices. When I checked his phone, it didn't display the rogue I.P. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated.

It could be some app on that phone causing those attacks to show up in the log.DarrenM

I reviewed the I.P. and it doesn't seem like it's coming from an app.
