In the last few days several people have complained that scanning
activity has been observed from various well known apple.com addresses.
Recently www.apple.com (17.254.0.91) was accused.  In every case we have
determined that those attacks were not coming from the addresses
associated with the reports.  In the case of www.apple.com, the 91
address is a virtual address that cannot be used in this way.  If you
have evidence of such an attack's actual origination, or a method to
easily traces the actual origination point -I- would like to know of it.

Thank you
