Reaching out to Sony NOC, resolving DDoS Issues - Need POC

Wed Jan 8 21:20:59 UTC 2020

You're getting hit with something reported as "TCP-AMP" (I'm assuming TCP
amplification; not sure what's classifying this for you) on your IP
address, and then shortly thereafter that IP address is blocked from
Imperva's services?  Are the source IP addresses in those "TCP-AMP" attacks
Sony IP addresses?  That does start to sound like someone is bouncing TCP
off of you (send you a SYN with spoofed Sony source IP address; have your
devices respond with TCP SYN+ACK).  It would still be unwise of Imperva to
flag the address, but that could be the mechanism here, perhaps?
