My Netgear router has been reporting DoS attacks for over a week from an address that belongs to Verizon. They always start around 10:00PM and end at midnight. Here's an example:
[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (5) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.237.40.84], Monday, Jul 08,2024 00:00:46
[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (5) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.237.40.84], Monday, Jul 08,2024 00:00:20
[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (5) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.237.40.84], Sunday, Jul 07,2024 23:59:53

[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (5) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.237.40.84], Sunday, Jul 07,2024 23:59:00
[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (5) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.237.40.84], Sunday, Jul 07,2024 23:58:33
[DoS attack: FIN Scan] (5) attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.237.40.84], Sunday, Jul 07,2024 23:58:06
Does anyone know how to effectively report this to Verizon? I sent email to abuse@verizon@net and got back an automated response that essentially said they can't respond to every e-mail they get.
The Netgear community says that Netgear routers are "notorious" for reporting false DoS attacks but these packets are coming from some where.
Thanks.
