For the past two days jya.com has been under attack by the Korea Information Security Agency

http://www.kisa.or.kr

which has set up (or allowed) a couple of robots to issue a sustained flood of requests for the same three files, one per second, which has nearly stopped access by others.

We've written the <webmaster@kisa.or.kr> to no effect. The phone listed at the KISA web site does not answer. A robot exclusion file has not worked.

Any suggestions for ways to ebola the invaders? We filed criminal charges with the international cybercrimes tribunal but do not expect rapid deployment of their cooping cops -- spooned with KISA's.
