Response from their technical admin:

Quote:Dear Mr Hayter,

My name is Ken Smith and I am the technical person for Blessed Sacrament. I will certainly investigate this but I would guess this is either a bot that got installed on one of my computers, or they person doing the denial of service was spoofing out ip address. The school is just a K-8 and the students have limited resources, and they do not have access to the school at 10:00PM on a Sunday night. This was probably triggered by someone from outside. I will let you know of any results that I find,

Ken Smith

My reply:

Quote:Dear Ken,

Thanks for looking into this. As I mentioned, this was carried out at 10pm GMT, so the time in America would have been in the afternoon. I'm not sure of the exact timezone difference, but I hope that helps you in some way. If you require it, I can send you the log of all requests sent from the IP I specified.

Kind regards,

Adrian Hayter
