So my silly little toy application that I put up in March suddenly
appears to have become the target of a BotNet/DDoS attack. The
content was political, though non-partisan, so maybe that drew could
have drawn this loser's ire. I've disabled the app but I'm not sure
what, if anything, I should do next.

Is there someone at Google I should alert to this in case this is a
Google vendetta instead of a political one? The source IPs seem to be
legit (i.e. not bogons) so the responsible thing to do would seem to
be to parse the logs and try to get the IPs to someone who can reach
the clients. Is this a waste of time? If not, any ideas for getting
the contact info without launching my own flood to ARIN? :)

Thanks,
Sean

Sean,

If this happens, let us know here, especially if it causes billing anomalies for you: http://code.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=AppEngineBillingSupport
