Small Numbers

The report I keep reading is 300 million attacks per day. I know my number is 1/20th the size but we are filtering 15 million per day and we don't spend any time trying to track the attackers. It doesn't impact our users or our websites. It just consumes some bandwidth from the Internet to our firewalls and IPS devices.

The issue we have when we try to clean up the attacks is that most are coming from home users that want us to travel to their location and clean their systems. Who has the time?
