Well I guess I have been a bit outspoken of late. And a relative newcomer here with unknown origin and motivations. And I could be accused of being sceptical, cynical, sometimes maybe even paranoid. And I didn't think much initially about the failed network attacks on my internet security software report last week.
Until I checked the IP address that these attacks came from. Two attacks to try and seed a worm.hellkern virus presumably to gain remote access.
IP address: 66.102.135.227
location provided (presumably some nearby node): cnr Santa Monica Boulevard and 15th St, Santa Monica, CA
IP provider: velocity networks
Upon doing a little checking, no guilt by association assumed, but certainly interesting, discovered the following.
Demand Media USA offices
cnr Santa Monica Boulevard and 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA
approximately 1 km up the road
Anyone else with network attacks from same/similar Santa Monica locations?
