Has anyone heard of this yet. Getting e-mails passed from another hospital thay they may have been part of a
"Telephony Denial of Services Attack"!
 
I think I could do something in CCM but not knowing which DID # they will call presents a problem!
 
I'm not sure you can do anything in your system to stop a flood of calls. The flood is from the CO and you can't choke the CO. If all your paths are busy, then nobody can call you.

Yep! Guess it's just time to sit back and take a wait and see attitude!
 
Just had a report from one of our customers that had a TDoS attack last night and a couple of times this morning. Has any of the Telco providers found anything to combat this yet. Their provider is Windstream, they told him they could track the ip address, but that was about all.
