Starting about 6am eastern time, we began getting several hundred hits per
second from
IP address 195.188.22.6 to our WHOIS server.

It appears that they were running a rather well endowed dictionary against
the database.

Beware - these are spammers (I know the address very well). Check your logs
if you have
any email servers or whois databases.

This is a jerk from England who is a known fraudster.

Blueyonder / Cableinet are both owned and ran by Telewest - a cable
company, its probably a cable modem customer...

Good luck dealing with blueyonder - they won't accept complaints sent by
means other than their webform.
