I'm seeing email saying my employer's (large broadband) call centers  
are taking extremely high call volumes due they believe to this  
exploit. I don't think this is a case of crying wolf, since there are  
apparently several broadband providers who are getting hit with this,  
based on Gadi's email.

I'll leave the flamewar as to whether this is on topic for NANOG or  
not to the experts.
