Ping Of Death... - Off topic

Users browsing this thread: 1 Guest(s)
For the past two days (today and yesterday) my internet connection has been really slow, 25kb/s is the max I was getting. I checked my security log (Firewall log) and noticed that for the past two days I got a "Ping Of Death from IP address to my IP address Dropped. I looked up "Ping Of Death" and it seems to be a DDOS, "A ping of death is a type of attack on a computer that involves sending a malformed or otherwise malicious ping to a computer." More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_of_death

As I am looking at the IP that the attacks are coming from, they are different and has been occurring since: 03/26/2015 20:09:48

I am not sure what to think of this, maybe I am completely wrong about this? Maybe the "Dropped" at the end means the person has failed? Maybe they just stopped? I hope this isn't anything serious.

I still don't know what to do, any suggestions?
