Hi Daniel,<br>
<br>
 Called that number - can't get through to anyone by choosing internet crimes just keep getting referred away to scamwatch and ACMA for crimes that don't fit what is happening (DDoS).<br>
<br>
 Also called the switchboard and they too push me through to the same IVR so no luck unfortunately.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the response though - I have been given a contact by another list member that I will pursue.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Joe<br>

Hi List,<br>
<br>
  Quick Q - a customer of ours is having problems with targeted DDoS<br>
attacks on their network. We believe it is beyond the general randomness<br>
of DDoS's that occur due to the selected targets and the repetitive nature.<br>
<br>
  I would like to discuss options of investigation with the AFP however<br>
the contact numbers I can find all go through to an IVR which, for<br>
internet crimes, just keep referring off to scamwatch and other such<br>
departments, not accounting for higher level network crimes.<br>
<br>
  Does anyone have the correct line of inquiry with the AFP?<br>
